| description | <p>Small changes in the
radiation budget at the earth's surface can lead to large climatological
responses when persistent over time. With the increasing debate on
anthropogenic influences on climatic processes during the 1980s the need for
accurate radiometric measurements with higher temporal resolution was
identified, and it was determined that the existing measurement networks did
not have the resolution or accuracy required to meet this need. In 1988 the
WMO therefore proposed the establishment of a new international Baseline
Surface Radiation Network (BSRN), which should collect and centrally archive
high-quality ground-based radiation measurements in 1 min resolution. BSRN
began its work in 1992 with 9 stations; currently (status 2018-01-01), the
network comprises 59 stations (delivering data to the archive) and 9
candidates (stations recently accepted into the network with data forthcoming
to the archive) distributed over all continents and oceanic environments. The
BSRN database is the World Radiation Monitoring Center (WRMC). It is hosted at the
Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany, and now offers more than
10 300 months of data from the years 1992 to 2017. All data are available at
