SILO climate database - solar radiation

The solar radiation data provided by SILO are an estimate of the total incoming solar energy incident upon the Earth's surface at a given location. The estimate includes contributions from both the direct and diffuse components of solar exposure. It can be calculated from data measured directly by radiometers and indirectly from observational estimates of cloudiness and hours of sunshine duration.
