| Description | Diffuse shortwave radiation | ||||
| Calculation method | Title | Period | Processing | Unit | Comment |
| Hourly | Hourly | The hourly time series from Harmonie-Arome | W/m2 | ||
| Monthly min | Monthly | The monthly minimum diffuse shortwave radiation | W/m2 | ||
| Monthly mean | Monthly | The monthly mean diffuse shortwave radiation | W/m2 | ||
| Monthly max | Monthly | The monthly maximum diffuse shortwave radiation | W/m2 | ||
| Yearly min | Yearly | The yearly minimum diffuse shortwave radiation | W/m2 | ||
| Yearly mean | Yearly | The yearly mean diffuse shortwave radiation | W/m2 | ||
| Yearly max | Yearly | The yearly maximum diffuse shortwave radiation | W/m2 | ||
| Mean over period | Five years | Total mean for the full period | W/m2 | ||
| Provenance | Diffuse shortwave radiation is computed as the difference between global radiation and direct shortwave radiation and is based on simulations by HARMONIE-AROME | ||||
| Validation | The simulations made by HARMONIE-AROME in Urban SIS has been validated against observations in Urban SIS deliverable 5.1, where an overview is given in Table 4. | ||||
