Abstract:
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, and standard deviation of total irradiance.
The new high-resolution (DX) data is in ds741.1 dataset.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
