Radiative flux products

Introduction

The high latitude radiative flux products developed at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute contains shortwave (SSI) and longwave (DLI) irradiance received at the surface.

Shortwave radiation is in this project defined as radiation in the range 0.3-3 micrometer and longwave radiation is in the range 4-50 micrometer.

The Ocean and sea Ice SAF radiative flux products will be produced at 10 km spatial resolution once daily. Input data will be AVHRR data from both NOAA POES and the future EPS system.

Status

Daily quicklook products are available through the specific product description pages for SSI and DLI respectively. WMO GRIB and HDF5 files including quality flag etc are available for FTP download through the main page.
