The gridded solar radiation dataset (CRS-GRID) is available via the Copernicus Atmosphere Data Store (ADS) in NetCDF format. It is a pre-processed collection of CRS v4.5 time series every 0.1° on a regular latitude and longitude grid in the Meteosat Second Generation field of view and for the 15 min temporal resolution. This group of time series was converted into monthly NetCDF files. The expert mode variables do not exist for CRS-GRID.
