Diffusely Transmitted Downward PAR Surface Solar Irradiance for Himawari-8/9 (HIM_SSI_PAR_Diffuse)
cd6e5931-6eb6-4097-a49f-8a265aa22503
As part of the downward surface solar irradiance (SSI) collection, this product is the diffusely transmitted irradiance integrated over the PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) spectral range (400 to 700 nm). The product was generated for daytime Himawari-8/9 imagery using the <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2021.03.029">Qin et al. (2021a)</a> algorithm for the Australian continent and surrounding waters. While it is provided here in a regular latitude/longitude grid, the product 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).
