  1. The World Radiation Monitoring Center and the Baseline Surface Radiation Network Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  2. Do we Understand Climate Change? Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  3. What Makes our Climate? The Radiation Budget Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  4. The Local Radiation Budget can be measured Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  5. Example: 13 1365 Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  6. The Main Objectives of the • World Radiation Monitoring Center (WRMC) • Archiving uniform and consistent measurements throughout the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) to: • monitor the surface short-wave and long-wave radiative components and their changes with the best methods currently available, • provide data for the validation of satellite-based estimates of the surface radiative fluxes and • produce high quality observational data for comparison to climate models. Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  7. Brief WRMC-BSRN History: • 1988: The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO is a sub-organisation of the UNO) proposed the establishment of the BSRN. • 1992: The BSRN started with 5 sites and the WRMC at ETH Zurich. • 2004: BSRN officially became a contributor to the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). • 2008 July: After 15 years the archive moved to Alfred-Wegener-Institut (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany under the direction of Dr. Gert König-Langlo. Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  8. Present State of the WRMC: 47 stations providing data Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  9. Present State of the WRMC: Datasets • The typical average interval for radiation data is 1 minute: • LR 0100: Global, Diffuse, Direct, Long-wave down 47 stations • LR 0200: Long-wave spectral down 0 stations • LR 0300: Reflex, Long-wave up 9 stations • LR 0500: UV 12 stations • LR 1000: Synoptic weather observation 8 stations • LR 1100: Upper air soundings with balloons 25 stations • LR 1200: Total ozone 8 stations • LR 1300: Aerosol optical depths (dust) 14 stations • LR 1300: Ceilometer data (cloud base height) 3 stations • LR 30x0: Radiation measurements from tower 11 stations Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  10. How to manage a variety of datasets for a variety of customers? • Homepage: http://www.bsrn.awi.de. • FTP-server: ftp://ftp.bsrn.awi.de/ • Easy access to any dataset via: PANGAEA, • … search machines • … DOIs. Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010

  11. Workflow within the WRMC: • Any accepted BSRN-station has a station scientist. • Each month the station scientist generates one station-to-archive file according to file format definition from the “Technical Plan for BSRN Data Management”. • The monthly files include all metadata and datasets of one station. • The station scientist copies (ftp) this file to the WRMC at AWI. • At AWI the file gets format checked and accepted/rejected. • Accepted files gets imported into PANGAEA. • During the import process each logical record gets a unique DOI. • All datasets gets immediately accessible via PANAGEA. • Search machines harvest the PANGAEA accessible metadata. Gert König-Langlo, DataCite Meeting 2010
