Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN): structure and data description (1992-2017).

Small changes in the radiation budget at the earths surface can lead to large climatological responses when persistent over time. With the increasing debate on anthropogenic influences on climatic processes during the 1980s the need for accurate radiometric measurements with higher temporal resoluti...
