Scientific paper

HELIOSAT-3 aims at the operational quantification of surface solar irradiance in cloud free and cloudy situations and additional energy-specific parameters as direct normal irradiance, angular distribution of diffuse irradiance, illuminance, and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) taking actual distributions of atmospheric absorbers and scatterers into account. The new method relies on input information on physical cloud properties (e.g. optical depth), aerosol optical depth and type, water vapour concentration and ozone distribution which are derived from MSG or ERS- 2/ENVISAT measurements. First MSG-based results for the clear sky case will be shown. MSG-SEVIRI based cloud and water vapour level 2 and level 3 products are given as examples. Additionally, ERS-2 and ENVISAT data is used to derive aerosol optical depth and type as well as ozone concentration. Recent improvements of the aerosol retrieval method SYNAER and a 5 degree climatology data set for the MSG field of view based on 1997/1998 ERS-2 data are presented.
