CONUS 404 hourly shortwave and longwave radiation at ground surface #440

Closed pmodi7 closed 8 months ago

Hi there,

Thank you for the excellent tutorial on this package. I recently started exploring the hourly CONUS 404 dataset and came across the Hytest tutorial. I have been successful in downloading some of the meteorological forcings except for the shortwave and longwave radiation.

As per the CONUS404 documentation, SWDOWN (Inst. downward shortwave at ground surface) and GLW (Inst. longwave at ground surface) seem to be missing within the 'CONUS404-hourly-osn'. Through the Hytest documentation, I was able to figure out some accumulated radiation variables (ACSWDNB/ACLWDNB) have been modified from the original dataset. Is there a way I can derive SWDOWN and GLW from those accumulated variables, or are they virtually the same?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Parth
