Shortwave radiation budgets for March and April (in both clear sky & all sky conditions) at the surface and in the atmosphere derived from 5 Years (Feb 1985 – Dec 1988) of ERBE measurements. The units are in W m -2 with contour intervals of 10. Original data were obtained from 2.5° 2.5° gridded climatology provided by the International Research Institute (IRI) climate data centre.
