Estimation of surface solar global radiation from NOAA AVHRR data in high latitudes

A physical method for estimating the instantaneous global irradiance and daily cumulative insolation based on Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer data was developed and tested at high latitudes in a boreal subarctic region. The satellite estimates were compared with ground-based pyranometer mea...

Description
Summary:A physical method for estimating the instantaneous global irradiance and daily cumulative insolation based on Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer data was developed and tested at high latitudes in a boreal subarctic region. The satellite estimates were compared with ground-based pyranometer measurements at six stations in Finland.
