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 2008-07-01 the WRMC is hosted by the Alfred Wegener Institute. Data were transfered 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 the Publishing Network for Geoscientific & Environmental Data PANGAEA. For more information see: http://www.bsrn.awi.de/.

The data within the WRMC are read account restricted. Only persons who follow the BSRN data release guidelines are allowed to use the data. Read accounts for both - PANGAEA and ftp access - can be obtained from Dr. [mailto:Gert.Koenig-Langlo@awi.de Gert König-Langlo].
