NOAA/ESRL/GMD Radiometers (NOAARAD)
Instrument Categories: Radiometric
General Overview
The ARM Climate Research Facility is providing data in netCDF format from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Earth System Research Laboratory, Global Monitoring Division (NOAA/ESRL GMD). These data provide surface radiation measurements from Barrow, Alaska, as part of a long-term surface solar irradiance monitoring network of globally remote sites (G-Rad). Data are available from 1976-02-18 to present. For more details, see the XDC web page.
Primary Measurements Taken

- Longwave broadband downwelling irradiance
- Longwave broadband upwelling irradiance
- Shortwave broadband diffuse downwelling irradiance
- Shortwave broadband direct downwelling irradiance
- Shortwave broadband total downwelling irradiance
- Shortwave broadband total upwelling irradiance
