Data sets

A 16-year dataset of high-resolution (3 hour, 10km) global surface solar radiation (2000–2015), Big Data System for Pan-Third Pole W. Tang https://doi.org/10.11888/Meteoro.tpdc.270112

Short summary

This study produced a 16-year (2000–2015) global surface solar radiation dataset (3 h, 10 km) based on recently updated ISCCP H-series cloud products with a physically based retrieval scheme. Its spatial resolution and accuracy are both higher than those of the ISCCP-FD, GEWEX-SRB and CERES. The dataset will contribute to photovoltaic applications and research related to the simulation of land surface processes.
