  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) and swup (surface upward shortwave radiation) from raw data files, and saved the data in ascii format, then I calculated surface net shortwave radation using swdn and swup, and organized all site data together for each month and year and saved them in netcdf files.

  Temporal resolution: monthly

  General information: This product was derived from WRMC-BSRN radiation dataset.

  Spatial resolution: site observations
