Spatial and Temporal Homogeneity of Solar Surface Irradiance across Satellite Generations
Solar surface irradiance (SIS) is an essential variable in the radiation budget of the Earth. Climate data records (CDR’s) of SIS are required for climate monitoring, for climate model evaluation and for solar energy applications. A 23 year long (1983–2005) continuous and validated SIS CDR based on the visible channel (0.45–1 μm) of the MVIRI instruments onboard the first generation of Meteosat...
متن کاملDigging the METEOSAT Treasure - 3 Decades of Solar Surface Radiation
Solar surface radiation data of high quality is essential for the appropriate monitoring and analysis of the Earth’s radiation budget and the climate system. Further, they are crucial for the efficient planning and operation of solar energy systems. However, well maintained surface measurements are rare in many regions of the world and over the oceans. There, satellite derived information is th...
متن کاملSatellite Inferred Global Climatology
Clouds are essential for life to exist on earth due to their influential climatological impact. Clouds help control the radiation balance of the earth by reflecting incoming solar radiation, a cooling process; however, clouds also act as absorbers of terrestrial infrared radiation, a warming process. This dual role is a primary motive to examine the effects clouds have on the global climate. Qu...
متن کاملA Satellite-Based Surface Radiation Climatology Derived by Combining Climate Data Records and Near-Real-Time Data
This study presents a method for adjusting long-term climate data records (CDRs) for the integrated use with near-real-time data using the example of surface incoming solar irradiance (SIS). Recently, a 23-year long (1983–2005) continuous SIS CDR has been generated based on the visible channel (0.45–1 μm) of the MVIRI radiometers onboard the geostationary Meteosat First Generation Platform. The...
