Data Information

  Title:
derived WRMC BSRN

  Source_file:
This product is generated from monthly WRMC.BSRN observations

  History:
Mon Oct 6 14:05:46 2025: ncatted -a coordinates,rlds,c,c,lat lon /home/nate/.cache/ilamb3/0.1/rlds/WRMC.BSRN/rlds.nc

  Conventions:
Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  Altitude:
BSRN

  Site_name:

  Creation_date:
Sun Jun 22 23:42:20 PDT 2014

  Approach:
First I used BSRN Toolbox to extract lwdn (surface downward longwave radiation) from raw data files, and saved the data in ascii format, then I organized all site data together for each month and year and saved them in a netcdf file.

  Temporal resolution:
monthly

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

  Spatial resolution:
site observations
