SEVIRI Radiation Interim Climate Data Record based on SARAH-2 methods - MSG

The Interim Climate Data Record (ICDR) SEVIRI Surface Solar Radiation Data Set based on SARAH-2 methods is a satellite-based data set of the solar surface irradiance (global radiation), the surface direct irradiance (direct horizontal and direct normalized) and the sunshine duration derived from satellite-observations of the visible channels of the SEVIRI instruments onboard the geostationary Meteosat satellites, that is designed to continously extend the SARAH-2 climate data record (DOI: DOI:10.5676/EUM_SAF_CM/SARAH/V002_01) in time. The ICDR SEVIRI Radiation data covers the time period from 2018 onwards and covers the same region as SARAH-2 (±65° longitude and ±65° latitude). The products are available as monthly, daily means (monthly and daily sums for sunshine duration) and 30-min instantaneous data (global and direct radiation only) on a regular latitude/longitude grid with a spatial resolution of 0.05° x 0.05° degrees. All product are available via the CM SAF Web User Interface. Additionally, the daily and monthly mean surface incoming shortwave radiation (SIS) as well as the daily and monthly sums of sunshine duration (SDU) are also provided via EUMETCast.
