Abstract
The CAMS McClear Irradiation service, available worldwide, delivers time series of irradiation that would be observed in a specific site under cloud-free conditions, with a time step ranging from 1 min to 1 month. The Global, Direct and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiation, as well as the Beam Normal Irradiation are provided. The time coverage of the data is from 2004-01-01 up to current day-2.
