  Title:

derived CERES EBAF Radiation

  Source_file:

This product is generated from monthly 1 degree CERES EBAF Radiation observations

  Conventions:

Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  Creation_date:

  Approach:

To obtain albedo from CERES EBAF radiation data, I divided total surface upward shortwave (sfc_sw_down_all_mon) by total sky surface downward shortwave (sfc_sw_up_all_mon). Meanwhile, the data were also binned from original 1.0x1.0 resolution to final 0.5x0.5 resolution.

  Temporal resolution:

monthly

  General information:

This product was derived from CERES EBAF radiation dataset.

  Spatial resolution:

0.5x0.5 degree
