WRMC

The World Radiation Monitoring Center (WRMC) is the central archive of all Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) measurements. In 1992 the WRMC was founded at ETH Zurich. Since 2008 the WRMC is hosted by the Alfred Wegener Institute. Data were transferred to AWI from the original ftp-site at ETH Zurich until about 2008-03-01. More recent data were submitted directly to AWI were all data are archived in the ftp-server ftp://ftp.bsrn.awi.de/. Additionally, all data are available via PANGAEA - Data Publisher for Earth & Environmental Science. For more information see: http://www.bsrn.awi.de/.

The data within the WRMC have by default "read-only" access. Only persons who follow the BSRN data release guidelines are allowed to download and use the data. Accounts for both - PANGAEA and ftp access - can be obtained from Dr. [mailto:Amelie.Driemel@awi.de Amelie Driemel].
