Instrument : 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.
