Baseline Surface Radiation Network

Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) is a project of the

ETH until 2007. Since 2008 the WRMC is operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research

Objectives

To monitor the background (least influenced by immediate human activities which are regionally concentrated) shortwave and longwave radiative components and their changes with the best methods currently available.
To provide data for the calibration of satellite-based estimates of the surface radiative fluxes.
To produce high quality observational data to be used for validating the theoretical computations of radiative fluxes by models.
