Scientific paper

A physical model to estimate the incident short-wave radiation at the surface from satellite data (Gautier et al., 1980) has been improved, taking into account the effect of the aerosol scattering, and simplified, considering the surface albedo as a linear function of the planetary albedo. The model is applied to Meteosat-2 measurements for the Italian peninsula. Comparison with ground measurements uniformly distributed over Italy (14 stations) shows good agreement both for clear sky and for cloudy conditions. The rms error is approximately 8-9 percent considering all the data together.
