General

The Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) is a project of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and its sub-program - GEWEX. BSRN is operationally responsible to the GEWEX Radiation Panel chaired by Dr Chris Kummerow. BSRN is now also a sub-program of GCOS, the Global Climate Observing System and answers to the GCOS AOPC. More information on these organizations can be found on their web sites (http://www.gewex.org, https://gcos.wmo.int/).

The central archive of the BSRN - the World Radiation Monitoring Center (WRMC) is hosted by AWI and within PANGAEA since 2007-12-01 (BSRN@AWI). Data were transfered from the original ftp-site at ETH until about 2008-03-01. A data overview is available at: https://dataportals.pangaea.de/bsrn/? The overview of BSRN collections in PANGAEA can be accessed via https://www.pangaea.de/?q=%40BSRNcollection .

Information on how to become a part of BSRN is given on the BSRN Homepage (http://bsrn.awi.de/en/stations/join-bsrn/). Contact details: https://bsrn.awi.de/contact-persons/
