Short summary

We generate a daily sunshine duration dataset in China at a spatial resolution of 5 km using Himawari AHI data from 2016 to 2023 fitted with an Ångström–Prescott model at different days of year (DOYs). These high-resolution sunshine duration data provide important support for accurate radiation resource assessments in China.
