Documenting, Understanding, and Predicting the Aggregate Surface Radiation Fluxes for SHEBA

Abstract

This document serves as a final report for NASA grant NAG5-8625 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW). The report covers work done at Boston University for the first two years of the project (as NAG5-4903) and the third and final year of the project at the University of Wisconsin (NAG5-8625). In 1999 the third year's funding and tasks were transferred to UW where the Principal Investigator (J. Key) is now stationed. A no-cost extension period of the grant ended on June 15, 2001. This is a group project with the University of Colorado (CU) as the lead institution, where Judith Curry is the Principal Investigator. The overall project is jointly funded by NASA and NSF. The progress reported herein is specific to Boston University and the University of Wisconsin.
