Long-term surface downward surface radiation dataset over the Tibetan Plateau

Calibrated by the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System Energy Balanced and Filled (CERES EBAF) Edition 4.0 surface downward radiation products, long-term (from 1850-2015) surface DSR and DLR datasets over the Tibetan Plateau are developed from 18 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models by using a non-negative least squares (NNLS) regression. The fused results show higher accuracy than the CMIP5 model outputs and other long-term radiation products based on validation using ground measurements. The spatial resolution is 1degree; the temporal resolution is 1 month; the time span is 1850-2015. The longitude range is 75E to 105E, and the latitude range is 25N to 40N.
