Grid description | We used a grid of nb_columns*nb_lines = 275*126 points over Europe with a 0.2° step. Only grid cells on land were computed. Download the list of the 275*126 grid points in CSV format. Grid:

Volume content | Each HDF5 dataset comprises 35040 maps, which correspond to the number of 15 min periods in 1 year (35136 maps for leap years). Each value in HDF5 files is stored as an unsigned byte:
If you extract hdf5 data as a time series for one location, you will get almost the same data as CAMS Radiation web interface. For example, CAMS_Radiation_GHI_at_point_300_on_2005-01-10.jpg compares CAMS Radiation GHI on 2005-01-10 at location (57.4, -2.4) extracted from the web interface and from ghi_2005.h5. The small difference is due to the data compression as 1 byte per value in AGATE. | ![]() Click on the image to magnify: GHI on 2005-04-01 from 11h45 to 12h00 UT |
