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

  source_file: This product is generated from monthly WRMC.BSRN observations

  title: derived WRMC BSRN

  Approach: First I used BSRN Toolbox to extract swdn (surface downward shortwave 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

  Derived data code: http://redwood.ess.uci.edu/mingquan/www/ILAMB/Download/CODES/CODES/subroutines/convert/convert-WRMC.BSRN.ncl
