Abstract:

Global surface solar irradiance data are derived from ISCCP DX data in 0.5-degree-square boxes. Daily and monthly values of total irradiance, clear sky irradiance, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, 400-700 nanometers) irradiance, cloud fraction, diffuse fraction of PAR and monthly land water coast ocean mask are the products.

The 2.5-degree version 2 results are archived in ds741.0 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.
