Surface Radiation Budget (SRB) Release 2.5 QC Shortwave Daily Data in Native Format (SRB_REL2.5_QCSW_DAILY)

This data set contains average clear-sky surface insolation, all-sky surface insolation, surface absorbed SW flux, and all-sky surface albedo measured at daily intervals for each day for the entire globe between 07/01/1983 and 06/30/2005. These SW surface radiative parameters were derived with the Quality-Check SW (QCSW) algorithm of the NASA World Climate Research Programme/Global Energy and Water-Cycle Experiment (WCRP/GEWEX) Surface Radiation Budget (SRB) Project.
