Operational data collection began in 1995 with four stations; two stations were added in 1998. Since its formal introduction to the research community in 2000, several additions and improvements have been made to the network\u2019s products and infrastructure. To better represent the climate types of the United States, a seventh SURFRAD station was installed near Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in June 2003. In 2001, the instrument used for the diffuse solar measurement was replaced with a type of pyranometer that does not have a bias associated with infrared radiative cooling of its receiving surface. Subsequently, biased diffuse solar data from 1996 to 2001 were corrected using a generally accepted method. Other improvements include the implementation of a clear-sky diagnostic algorithm and associated products, better continuity in the ultraviolet-B (UVB) data record, a reduced potential for error in the downwelling infrared measurements, and development of an aerosol optical depth algorithm. Of these, only the aerosol optical depth product has yet to be finalized. All SURFRAD stations are members of the international Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN). Data are submitted regularly in monthly segments to the BSRN archive in Zurich, Switzerland. Through this affiliation, the SURFRAD network became an official part of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) in April 2004.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1175\/jtech1806.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,21]],"date-time":"2005-10-21T16:27:51Z","timestamp":1129912071000},"page":"1460-1472","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":187,"title":["An Update on SURFRAD\u2014The GCOS Surface Radiation Budget Network for the Continental United States"],"prefix":"10.1175","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"John A.","family":"Augustine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Surface Radiation Research, NOAA\/Air Resources Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary B.","family":"Hodges","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Institute for Research in the Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado, and Surface Radiation Research, NOAA\/Air Resources Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher R.","family":"Cornwall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surface Radiation Research, NOAA\/Air Resources Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph J.","family":"Michalsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surface Radiation Research, NOAA\/Air Resources Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos I.","family":"Medina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surface Radiation Research, NOAA\/Air Resources Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"12","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020061020465983600_i1520-0426-22-10-1460-Albrecht1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"188","DOI":"10.1175\/1520-0450(1977)016<0190:PFIPP>2.0.CO;2","article-title":"Procedures for improving pyrgeometer performance.","volume":"16","author":"Albrecht","year":"1977","journal-title":"J.
