Summary
The Radiative Flux Analysis is a technique for using surface broadband
radiation measurements for detecting periods of clear (i.e. cloudless) skies,
and using the detected clear-sky data to fit functions which are then used to
produce continuous clear-sky estimates. The clear-sky estimates and
measurements are then used in various ways to infer cloud macrophysical
properties. Detailed descriptions of the methodology are given in the papers
referenced in the readme files. This dataset includes surface radiation
budget, net radiation, global, direct, and diffuse shortwave, upwelling and
downwelling longwave, clear-sky radiation variables, cloud fraction,
transmissivity, and meteorological parameters from RadFlux Analysis. A listing
of the derived parameters can also be found in the readme files.
