Data · collection
Global radiation at the Earth-surface derived from METEOSAT-data (DWD-Archive) from 1994 on.
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Since 1985, the German Meteorological Service DWD (Deutscher Wetterdienst) has been extracting the global radiation from METEOSAT visible data based on a method which was developed by Moeser and Raschke (1984).
Description
The method combines results from radiative transfer calculations with cloud information from METEOSAT-VIS data. The area of investigation is Central Europe.
The global radiation is one component of the radiation balance at the surface. The radiation balance is an important climate parameter, because it describes part of the ernergy fluxes between the surface and the atmosphere. Information on the global radiation is also needed for agricultural applications and for solar energy research.
