All-sky total and direct surface Shortwave Downward Radiation (SWDR) estimation from satellite: Applications to MODIS and Himawari-8

The earth’s surface shortwave downward radiation (SWDR), which is generally defined as the sum of the incoming solar energy over the earth’s surface in the shortwave spectrum (0.3–3.0 μm), is a key component of the surface radiation budget (SRB). Spatiotemporally continuous SWDR is needed because it...
