High Temporal and Spatial Resolution Air Temperature Retrieval from Seviri and Modis Combined Data
Abstract
In the context of PV performance analysis and planning, as well as solar thermal or solar heating, the knowledge of the air temperature at ground level (commonly measured at two meters height above ground T2m) plays an important role. For instance, high temperatures cause higher cooling loads and reduce electricity yields of photovoltaic solar power plants. For many applications it is desirable to have T2m values not just at high temporal, but also at high spatial resolutions, since local influences can be large in the case, for instance, of rough topography.
