  Title:

derived WRMC BSRN

  Source_file:

This product is generated from monthly WRMC.BSRN observations

  Conventions:

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

  Altitude:

BSRN

  Creation_date:

Sun Jun 22 23:42:20 PDT 2014

  Approach:

First I used BSRN Toolbox to extract lwdn (surface downward longwave radiation) from raw data files, and saved the data in ascii format, then I organized all site data together for each month and year and saved them in a netcdf file.

  Temporal resolution:

monthly

  General information:

This product was derived from WRMC-BSRN radiation dataset.

  Spatial resolution:

site observations
