Abstract Surface Solar Irradiance (SSI) is a key parameter dictating surface-atmosphere
interactions, driving radiative, hydrological, and land surface processes, and can thus …

The Earth's climate is largely determined by its energy budget. Since the 1960s, satellite
remote sensing has been used in estimating these energy budget components at both the …

Climate change alters the amount and spatiotemporal characteristics of solar radiation at the
surface. How this affects the stability of solar energy has not yet been explored on a global …

Solar energy supply is usually highly volatile, limiting its integration into the power grid.
Accurate probabilistic intraday forecasts of solar resources are essential to increase the …

The amount of energy reaching Earth's surface from the Sun is a quantity of high importance
for the climate system and for renewable energy applications. SARAH-3 (SurfAce Radiation …

This study analyzes five years of 1-min solar global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and direct
normal irradiance (DNI) observations obtained at Petrolina (northeast Brazil). Quality …

The amount of solar (shortwave) radiation that reaches the Earth's surface underwent
substantial variations over recent decades. Since the 1950s, surface shortwave radiation …

Recently, surface diffuse solar radiation (Rdif) has been attracting a growing interest in view
of its function in improving plant productivity, thus promoting global carbon uptake, and its …

Satellite products provide the best way to monitor the solar radiation reaching the Earth's
surface on a global scale. However, their capability to monitor solar radiation trends needs …

We have analyzed near-global stratospheric data (and mesospheric data as well for H 2 O)
in terms of absolute abundances, variability, and trends for O 3, H 2 O, HCl, N 2 O, and HNO …
