Remarks
The central archive of the BSRN is the World Radiation Monitoring Center (WRMC) which was initiated by Atsumu Ohmura in 1992 and operated at ETH until 2007. Since 2008 the WRMC is operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), Germany.
An alternative to ftp access is data access via PANGAEA – Data Publisher for Earth & Environmental Science (http://www.pangaea.de/). The information system PANGAEA is operated as an Open Access library that is used for archiving, publishing, and distributing georeferenced data from Earth system research.
