Consult the Education service.

To launch a service, click on the appropriate button (rectangle) on right.

INFORMATIONS about:
- the different plane orientations and radiation components and their usage,
- how the data are aggregated from the 15-min Meteosat satellite images,
- link to the corresponding services for Registered Users only

Summary of the free data:

  • HC1: whole dataset without restriction (i.e. from 1985 to 2005, approx. 20 km spatial res)
  • HC3: all the services but restricted to 2005.
  • NASA-SSE: whole dataset without restriction (from July 1983 to June 2005, 1 degree of spatial res)
  • NASA-SSE + HC1: whole dataset without restriction (best spatial resolution between NASA-SSE and HC1)
