Climatological averages of surface radiation budget parameters, namely, the shortwave and longwave radiative fluxes, have been derived for each month year on a global scale. These climatological were from an 8-yr (96 month) time series monthly average fluxes. The computed using fast parameterizations satellite data International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project Earth Radiation Budget Experiment. Results are presented as hemispheric geographical distributions time–latitude cross sections...

Shortwave radiative fluxes that reach the earth's surface are key factors influence atmospheric and oceanic circulations as well climate. Yet, information on these is meager. Surface site data generally available from only a limited number of observing stations over land. Much less known about large-scale variability shortwave oceans, which cover most globe. Recognizing need to produce global-scale fields such for use in climate research, World Climate Research Program has initiated...
