Godøy, Øystein (2018): Downwelling surface radiative fluxes at Bjørnøya (Dec 2015 - Aug 2016), link to netCDF file [dataset]. Norwegian Meteorological Institute, PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.885679

Downwelling surface radiative fluxes observed at the meteorological station at Bjørnøya in the Barents Sea. Measurements are made using Kipp and Zonen CMP21 and CGR4 pyranometers and pyrgeometers. Daily maintenance is performed by the meteorological personnel at the station. Data are averaged over the last minute and the time is set to UTC. This data set was originally supported by the Norwegian Research Council but is now continued by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. The quality control performed is by visual inspection and by comparison of clear sky values against RTM simulations. Originally this station was started as an IPY station funded through iAOOS-Norway and IPY-THORPEX, currently it is continued by METNO.
