Unidata Dataset Discovery v1.0 Gridded global radiation dataset for the Rhine basin resampled from LSA SAF and CM SAF radiation products for hydrological modelling purposes A high resolution (1.2x1.2km) gridded global radiation dataset with hourly time step that covers the whole Rhine basin for the period 1997-2015. Radiation is resampled and merged from two satellite products: LSA SAF DSSF and CM SAF SIS and gap filled with ERA5 (ssrd). global radiation,grid,hourly,Rhine,transnational,hydrological modelling van Osnabrugge,B., Weerts, A., Uijlenhoet, R.
