Objective of the service

The satellite-derived solar radiation database HelioClim-3 is limited to the coverage of the Meteosat Second Generation satellite, i.e. -66° to 66° both in latitude and longitude. The objective is to develop an operational service to process the real time Meteosat Second Generation images now available on the Indian ocean for the IODC service.

Characteristics of the service

Inputs:

  • the Meteosat images
  • McClear clear sky values for the MODIS albedo  

Methodology for the precursor of service:

  • Rho_sat identical to the one of Heliosat-2
  • Rho_cloud identical to the one of Heliosat-2
  • All the work is focused on Rho_clear, which exploits McClear

Advantages:

  • Direct usage of McClear
  • No problem of sea shore temporal unconsistency
  • Glitter correction included
  • Direct correction of altitude
