Summary
A method for the determination of global radiation from multispectral satellite images has been developed and applied to about 85 NOAA6 and NOAA7 scenes of Europe.
The mean characteristics of the analysis procedure are:
-
The analysis procedure is based on statistical methods using selftraining algorithms
-
The image evaluation process is based on the analysis of local neighbourhood relations in satellite images
-
High processing speed is achieved by processor oriented algorithms
-
Analysis process is adaptable to different types of satellite images
-
Analysis procedure can be transfered to operational systems.
Preliminary results demonstate impressively the efficiency of the procedure for the determination of global radiation values. The correlation coefficients between estimated and ground truth data are better than 0.9.
By-products of the analysis process are sunshine duration and quantitative description of cloudiness.
All results can be presented as maps.
