Daily Exposure of Diffusely Transmitted Downward Surface Solar Irradiance for Himawari-8/9 (HIM_SSI_DE_Diffuse)

Created 25/01/2026

Updated 23/03/2026

This product is part of the downward Earth’s surface solar irradiance (SSI) collection, which was generated for daytime Himawari-8/9 imagery using the Qin et al. (2021a) algorithm for the Australian continent and surrounding waters. The product is provided here in a regular latitude/longitude grid. It is also available in the original Himawari (geostationary) projection (WGS84, sub-satellite longitude = 140.7°E and satellite altitude = 35785863 meters). Please contact the authors for accessing the data, which is located on the Australian National Computational Infrastructure (NCI). Currently, a near-real-time algorithm/processor is being developed to improve data availability, and to extend production to Himawari-10 (2028 - 2045).
