For the matter, resolution is not of concern in my current use-case. This particular data set has been used to build the global "Linke Turbidity Factor" database offered by SoDa/HelioClim [0][1][2]. Hence, it might be of interest for research involving "Linke Turbidity", such as estimations of solar irradiation.
