Meteosat Indian Ocean Surface Solar Irradiance
Demonstrational Near real time productEstimation of the solar irradiance reaching the Earth surface derived from the 0.6 µm visible channel of SEVIRI on board the geostationary satellite Meteosat. The product is remapped onto a 0.05° regular grid and expressed in W/m2.
Identification
Acronym : MET IO SSI
OSI SAF producer : Météo-France
Identifier : OSI-IO-SSI
Citation : See at bottom
Characteristics
Processing level : L3
Satellite input : Meteosat-8/SEVIRI
Other input : NA
Temporal sampling : 24 per day + 1 per day
Timeliness :
?
The timeliness is the time elapsing from the sensing time of the last contributing file to the product dissemination to users. It is similar to the latency.
2 h
Spatial coverage : East Atlantic, West Indian: 60N-60S 18.5W-101.5E
Spatial sampling : 0.05° Lat-Lon
File Formats : LML FTP Server (NetCDF4)
Characteristics & methods : Algorithm is a physical parametrization applied separately to every pixel of a satellite image to derive an instantaneous field of the Surface Solar Irradiance. The hourly product is interpolated at rounded UT hours, by a pixel dependant temporal interpolation between two consecutive satellite images. The value in the daily product is the integration of all the hourly values in the UT day.
