BSRN within the International Polar Year (IPY)
Within the BSRN 6 polar BSRN-stations performend radiation measurements during the IPY periode between March 2007 to March 2009. To make the BSRN contributon to the IPY more visable a single link (parent) containing all links (childs) to any of the BSRN-IPY datasets is now available at: http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.737668. Any user who accepts the BSRN data release guidelines may ask Gert König-Langlo to obtain an account to download these datasets.

January 2009
The web-pages from ETH Zurich got offline.
7–11 July 2008: BSRN-Workshop
10th Science and Review Workshop for the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN), De Bilt, The Netherlands. The agenda including hyperlinks to the presentations) is available here.
2 June 2008: www.bsrn.awi.de gets online
The new web-pages at www.bsrn.awi.de are about ready and online. The web-pages at bsrn.ethz.ch are still active. After a certain transition time a redirect from ETH to AWI will be set.
1 June 2008: First station-to-archive-files reach ftp.bsrn.awi.de
After each station director received its individual login for writing new station-to-archive files into the new incoming part of the ftp-server ftp.bsrn.awi.de the data flow starts and is increasing. The new files will be imported into the outgoing part of the ftp-server and PANGAEA within the next weeks.
27 May 2008: ETHZ stops taking new files
ETH Zürich do not accept new station-to-archive files any longer. All station scientists are asked to ftp new files to ftp.bsrn.awi.de. For corresponding accounts please contact Gert König-Langlo. Files already sent to ETH Zürich do not have to be submitted a second time. Please send gnu.zipped (*.gz) files if possible.
1 May 2008: New WRMC starts test phase
The transition of the WRMC from ETH Zürich to AWI is progressing. Data can be obtained from the Publishing Network for Geoscientific & Environmental Data PANGAEA and the new ftp-server: ftp.bsrn.awi.de. The new ftp-server is browser-accessible but an access via an UNIX ftp-tool is recommended. The former read account is still valid. New read accounts will be offered to anybody who accepts the data release guidelines from Gert König-Langlo. Due to the transition of the archive most recent data are frequently missing. They will be available as soon as possible.
