Toward a solar climatological database: the HelioClim project
The HelioClim project aims at producing temporal series of solar radiation maps at ground level over Europe, Africa and Atlantic Ocean from 1985 up to now. Meteosat satellites images in visible channel and in the reduced resolution B2 format are used to produce this climatological database. The Heliosat II method was selected to convert these images into maps of the global irradiation at ground...
متن کاملDeveloping a database using METEOSAT data for the delivery of solar radiation assessments at ground level
An information system, called HelioClim, is offered for answering the needs for long-term time-series of solar radiation data. These data originate from the processing of spaceborne observations made in the visible range by geostationnary satellites to derive solar radiation available at ground level. The recent method Heliosat 2 is used. It offers several improvements in operation and accuracy...
متن کاملHelioClim: a long-term database on solar radiation for Europe and Africa
An information system, called HelioClim, is available for answering the needs for long-term time-series of solar radiation data. Daily irradiation values are available over Europe, Africa and Atlantic Ocean, from 1985 onwards. This database is accessible through the Soda Web service (http://www.soda-is.com) on a free basis. Meteosat satellites images are used to produce this climatological data...
متن کاملA New Database of Global and Direct Solar Radiation Using the Eastern Meteosat Satellite, Models and Validation
We present a new database of solar radiation at ground level for Eastern Europe and Africa, the Middle East and Asia, estimated using satellite images from the Meteosat East geostationary satellites. The method presented calculates global horizontal (G) and direct normal irradiance (DNI) at hourly intervals, using the full Meteosat archive from 1998 to present. Validation of the estimated globa...
متن کاملSpatial 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...
