Validation of CM SAF Surface Solar Radiation Datasets over Finland and Sweden
Accurate determination of the amount of incoming solar radiation at Earth’s surface is important for both climate studies and solar power applications. Satellite-based datasets of solar radiation offer wide spatial and temporal coverage, but careful validation of their quality is a necessary prerequisite for reliable utilization. Here we study the retrieval quality of one polar-orbiting satelli...
متن کاملHomogeneity Analysis of the CM SAF Surface Solar Irradiance Dataset Derived from Geostationary Satellite Observations
A satellite-based climate record of monthly mean surface solar irradiance (SIS) is investigated with regard to possible inhomogeneities in time. The data record is provided by the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF) for the period of 1983 to 2005, covering a disk area between ±70◦ in lat...
متن کاملValidation of Solar Radiation Surfaces from MODIS and Reanalysis Data over Topographically Complex Terrain
The magnitude and distribution of incoming shortwave solar radiation (SWY) has significant influence on the productive capacity of forest vegetation. Models that estimate forest productivity require accurate and spatially explicit radiation surfaces that resolve both longand short-term temporal climatic patterns and that account for topographic variability of the land surface. This paper presen...
متن کاملParametrisation of solar radiation at the surface under cloudless conditions and its validation against observations
Radiative transfer is one of the most important physical processes in the atmosphere and must be treated accurately in numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models. In recent decades there have been many efforts aimed at improving the accuracy of radiation measurements and modelling (for example Murcray et al. 1996; Edwards and Slingo 1996; Mlawer et al. 1997; Sun and Rikus 1999; Li an...
متن کاملModelled and observed changes in aerosols and surface solar radiation over Europe between 1960 and 2009
Substantial changes in anthropogenic aerosols and precursor gas emissions have occurred over recent decades due to the implementation of air pollution control legislation and economic growth. The response of atmospheric aerosols to these changes and the impact on climate are poorly constrained, particularly in studies using detailed aerosol chemistry–climate models. Here we compare the HadGEM3-...
