Since January 2005, the SAF on Climate Monitoring (CM-SAF, http://www.cmsaf.dwd.de) derives operationally consistent cloud and radiation parameters in high spatial resolution for an area that covers Europe and part of the North-Atlantic. The cloud and surface radiation products are based on data from the polar orbiting satellites NOAA (and in future METOP) for the northern latitudes. Starting in September 2005 data from MSG (METEOSAT-8) for mid latitudes are used as well for the calculation of the surface radiation budget, deriving short- and longwave fluxes, as well as for the calculation of its budgets. To monitor and investigate the quality of the CM-SAF datasets high quality surface radiation budget measurements from different climates zones are used. The comparison shows a very good agreement on the monthly time scale with very little biases in general. However, regional differences especially for heterogeneous terrain are observable and will be discussed.
