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

  title: derived GEWEX SRB Radiation

  Approach: To obtain albedo from GEWEX SRB radiation data, I divided surface all-sky upward shortwave (sw_sfc_up) by 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
