Purpose
Solar radiation is a key parameter to define climate and also play a role in defining the chemical properties of the troposphere partially contributing in triggering photochemical reactions of important compounds (e.g. NO2). Moreover, solar radiation data can be used to evaluate the presence/development of clouds, thus providing important meteorological information for the interpretation of atmospheric compounds behaviours. Interactions with absorbing aerosol (e.g. mineral dustl from North Africa deserts or black carbon from combustion sources) can strongly influence the radiative flux at the surface, thus leading to large radiative forcings.
