This sea surface radiation data set is produced by Dr. Ming-Dah Chou
of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (Code 913). It contains the downward
solar (or shortwave) flux, downward thermal infrared (or longwave) flux,
and upward longwave flux. The data set covers the domain 40°S-40°N
and 90°E-170°W in the western Pacific and a period from
January 1998 to April 2000 (no data from September to December 1999).
The spatial resolution is 0.5° x 0.5° latitude-longitude,
and the temporal resolution is one day.
The Goddard DAAC will update this data set as new data are
processed and made available by the data producers. These data are available:
