Summary
Abstract: [Source: NASA/GISS, http://data.giss.nasa.gov/seawifs/ ]

Surface solar irradiance and related products were obtained through
the implementation of three generations of an algorithm (Bishop and
Rossow 1991). The information was produced for the SeaWiFS
project. The second generation (version 2) datasets (spanning eight
years) are now archived at NCAR, and a year of the third generation
(version 3) ... View entire text
