Surface Solar Irradiance Derived from ISCCP 

Global surface solar irradiance data derived from ISCCP
data in 2.5-degree-square boxes. Daily and monthly total
irradiance, daily clear sky irradiance, monthly cloud
fraction, and standard deviation of total irradiance.


The new high-resolution (DX) data is in ds741.1 dataset.
