ABSTRACT:

This database comprises the information used to calculate the clear-day and clearness indices in 37 FLUXNET sites distributed across the globe and their values. Data are obtained using the FLUXNET data set (Baldocchi, 2001, Olson, 2004) and the "First European Comprehensive Solar Irradiance Data Exploitation project'' (SOLID) (Haberreiter, 2017, Scholl, 2016).

The results obtained with this database are published in Muñoz & Ochoa (2021). Climatic traits on daily clearness and cloudiness indices. This article inspects for climatic traits in the shape of the probability density function (PDF) of the clear-day (c) and the clearness (k) indices. The analysis was made for shortwave radiation (SW) at all sites and for photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at 28 sites. We identified three types of PDF, unimodal with low dispersion (ULD), unimodal with high dispersion (UHD), and bimodal (B), with no difference in the PDF type between c and k at each site. Looking for regional patterns in the PDF type we found that latitude, global climate zone, and Köppen climate type have a weak and the Holdridge life a stronger relation with c and k PDF types.
