source_file: This product is generated from monthly 1 degree GEWEX SRB Radiation observations

title: derived GEWEX SRB Radiation

Approach: I simply read surface all-sky downward shortwave (sw_sfc_dn). 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 NASA GEWEX SRB 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-gewex.srb.ncl
