  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
