Data Type Short Description Variable List SAM Data Surface observations: radiation, meteorology, aerosols. Averaged to 15 minutes, one file per site per month. Example SYN_UT Surface observations: radiation, meteorology, aerosols. Averaged to hourly, 3 hourly, daily and monthly means in GMT time. One file per site per month. Example SYN_LT Surface observations: radiation, meteorology, aerosols. Averaged to hourly, 3 hourly, daily and monthly means in Local Time. One file per site per month. Example CRS Clouds & Radiation Swath(CRS) CERES data product. Contains CERES observations and radiation transfer results for CERES footprints less than 25KM of surface site. Example PROFILE Temperature, humidity, pressure, ozone profiles for one degree grid box where surface sites are located for time span of CERES project. -------
