Bishop's Surface Solar Irradiance derived from ISCCP
|
|
Global surface solar irradiance data derived from ISCCP
data in 2.5-degree-square boxes. Daily and monthly total
irradiance, daily clear sky irradiance, monthly cloud
fraction, std dev of total irradiance.
The new high-resolution (DX) data is in ds741.1 dataset.
