earthkit.meteo.solar.toa_incident_solar_radiation(begin_date: DateLike, end_date: DateLike, latitudes: xarray.DataArray, longitudes: xarray.DataArray, *, intervals_per_hour: int = 1, integration_order: int = 3) → xarray.DataArray

Compute the time-integrated incident solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere (TOA).

Parameters:

  • begin_date (datetime.datetime | numpy.datetime64) – Start of the integration interval.

  • end_date (datetime.datetime | numpy.datetime64) – End of the integration interval.

  • latitudes (array-like | xarray.DataArray) – Latitude (degrees).

  • longitudes (array-like | xarray.DataArray) – Longitude (degrees).

  • intervals_per_hour (int, optional) – Number of sub-intervals per hour used in the numerical integration.

  • integration_order (int, optional) – Order of the integration scheme.

Returns:

Time-integrated incident solar radiation at TOA.

Return type:

array-like | xarray.DataArray
