Breathing Earth System Simulator (BESS) Radiation v1
Breathing Earth System Simulator (BESS) is a simplified process-based model that couples atmosphere and canopy radiative transfers, canopy photosynthesis, transpiration, and energy balance. It couples an atmospheric radiative transfer model and artificial neural network with forcings from MODIS atmospheric products to generate 5-km daily products. … climate evapotranspiration gpp modis-derived par radiation -
MERRA-2 M2T1NXRAD: Radiation Diagnostics V5.12.4
M2T1NXRAD (or tavg1_2d_rad_Nx) is an hourly time-averaged data collection in Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2). This collection consists of radiation diagnostics, such as surface albedo, cloud area fraction, in cloud optical thickness, surface incoming shortwave flux (i.e. solar radiation), surface … albedo atmosphere climate emissivity merra shortwave
