GEBA data are used for

• the estimation of the global energy balance
  
• the detection of decadal changes in the energy balance components, such as a  long term variations in surface solar radiation ("global dimmming and brightening")
  
• the validation of surface energy fluxes simulated by climate models and reanalyses
  
• the validation of remote sensing algorithms
  
• studies on the absorption of solar radiation in the atmosphere
  
• applied studies, e.g. in the areas of solar power generation, water management, agriculture and tourism
