                         energy resources is needed. Within the UNEP (United Nations 
                         Environment Programme) project SWERA (Solar and Wind Energy 
                         Resource Assessment, http://swera.unep.net), funded by GEF (Global 
                         Environment Facility), a global database of solar and wind energy 
                         resources will be set up. SWERA will provide, beside the wind 
                         products, global horizontal irradiance, which is mostly used to 
                         plan photovoltaic systems, and direct normal irradiance, which is 
                         needed for solar concentrating systems. For selected countries 
                         throughout the world, additionally high resolution data will be 
                         produced which is required to plan solar energy systems in detail. 
                         Within SWERA, the partners DLR, SUNY and INPE calculate solar 
                         irradiance with high temporal resolution of 1 hour and with a 
                         spatial resolution of 10km x 10km. By processing data from 
                         geostationary satellites we provide solar irradiance data for 
                         Cuba, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Brazil, Ghana, 
                         Ethiopia, Kenya, China, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh. In this 
                         paper we describe the ongoing work of developing this high 
                         resolution solar irradiance archive and cross-checking of the used 
                         solar irradiance algorithms for various satellite data.",
