One Year of Terra/CERES data (Reflected Solar Radiation) Daily data

This animation displays a little over one year of Terra/CERES data (March 1, 2000 to May 25, 2001) at one day resolution. The data are 2.5 degree resolution. The band is reflected solar radiation (often referred to as 'shortwave' in the literature). Bright areas correspond to cloudtops or snowcover.
