Evaluation of ERA-40 and ERA-interim re-analysis incoming surface shortwave radiation datasets with mesoscale remote sensing data

In this paper an evaluation of the European Center for Medium Range Forecasting 40-year re-analysis (ERA-40) and interim re-analysis (ERA-Interim) solar irradiation datasets is presented. The goal of the study is to evaluate the accuracy of the downward solar surface radiation fluxes of ERA-40 and E...
