SUNY satellite-derived data (spanning decades) can be used to produce monthly irradiance maps (i.e., choosing a so-called "typical meteorological month"). I would appreciate if anyone can produce TMY-like files using SUNY gridded data for USA (lower 48 states).
Example of such map can be found at:

But I need the raw data here.
Many thanks in advance.
NSRDB's most recent update, physical solar model (PSM) v3 contains TMY data. This satellite-derived irradiance dataset as good as SUNY, or even better. There are several ways to download the data: via NSRDB viewer, API or Globus.
