| Rethinking Satellite Based Solar Irradiance Modelling (2004) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Accurate solar irradiance data are not only of particular importance for the assessment of the radiative forcing of the climate system, but also absolutely necessary for an efficient planning and operation of solar energy systems. The recently started European project Heliosat-3 will supply high quality solar radiation data by taking advantage of the enhanced capabilities of the new Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites. This goal will be achieved by the development and establishment of a new type of calculation scheme. This new type will be based on radiative transfer models (RTM) using the information of atmospheric parameters retrieved from the MSG satellite (clouds, ozone, water vapour) and the ERS-2/ENVISAT satellites (aerosols). | |||||||||||||
