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

title: derived CERES EBAF Radiation

Approach: I simply read this variable (sfc_lw_down_all_mon: surface all-sky downward longwave radiation) from original netcdf data file. 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

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