Abstract: The energy fluxes at the earth's surface determine, to a great extent, the thermal conditions and the circulation of the atmosphere. Accurate energy flux measurements, therefore, are essential for understanding (i) the ...

Abstract: Means and trends of shortwave irradiance at the earth?s surface are calculated from pyranometer measurements stored in the Global Energy Balance Archive (GEBA) database. The GEBA database contains the most comprehensive ...

Abstract: Shartwave radiative fluxes that reach the earth's surface are key factors that influence atmospheric and oceanic circulations as well as surface climate. Yet, information on these fluxes is meager. Surface site data are ...
