A team from the National Observatory of Athens has made a significant contribution to the understanding of solar radiation at the surface of our planet. A novel real-time system developed by the team is able to reliably calculate short-term forecasts of the solar radiation spectrum across the globe from space. This output information and its derived products will be invaluable to the international solar renewable energy, UV healthcare and environmental protection industries.
