As the entrusted entity for implementing the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), ECMWF issued a contract to provide, improve/extend and continuously evaluate the CAMS products related to solar radiation. This includes the evaluation of the global UV forecasts provided by ECMWF as well. The solar radiation service consists of global (clear sky) and multi-continental (defined by the field of view of geostationary satellite sensors to take into account the effect of clouds) solar irradiance databases. Time series based on an on-request access to long-term data sets up to several days’ behind real-time information should be made available to users, targeting particularly solar energy applications.
