These files are the calculated downward longwave flux at the surface derived from METEOSAT observations. The file naming convention is: raDDMMYYsxx.fis_tmp where DDMMYY is the date and xx = "slot number" Mean time (UT) is obtained from the slot number over the ASTEX region by the formula: UT = (xx/2) - 0.17 These files are: I2 pixels, 188 pixels/row, 163 rows. Each pixel has a spatial resolution of 0.08 degrees. The units of flux are Wm^-2.
