Observed solar radiation (EUMETSAT CM SAF SARAH-3)

Changed on

Satellite-derived OBSERVED daily surface solar radiation at any coordinate on the Meteosat 0-degree disc (Europe, Africa, the Atlantic, eastern South America): global horizontal (SIS), direct horizontal (SID), direct normal irradiance (DNI - the PV-relevant beam component a forecast surface does not observe) and sunshine duration (SDU), on the native 0.05 degree SARAH-3 grid. An observed climate data record at about a 3-day publication lag - not a forecast (use /api/v2/weather for forecasts). CC BY 4.0 (EUMETSAT Data Policy Core).
