Summary
Abstract: Measurements of direct solar irradiance have been carried out since
1977 at each of four baseline atmospheric monitoring stations operated
by NOAA/CMDL. The four stations are at:

Barrow, Alaska (1977-1992)
Mauna Loa, Hawaii (1977-1992)
Samoa, Cape Matatula (1977-1992)
South Pole, Antarctica (1977-1992)

Monitoring is done by means of a ... View entire text
