Acknowledgements
The efforts required in creating any document far exceed the capabilities of any one person. This manual has
been no exception. I would particularly like to thank the World Meteorological Organization for financial
support during the initial drafting of this report and the Atmospheric Environment Service for providing me with
the necessary time away from my regular duties to research the manual. I would also like to recognize the
support of the International Council for Science and the International Oceanographic Commission of the
UNESCO, the other sponsors of the World Climate Research Programme of which the Baseline Surface
Radiation Network is part. The first draft was ably reviewed at the Boulder 1996 meeting of the BSRN. While
all the participants at the meeting provided input I would especially like to thank the following individuals who
acted as group leaders during that process: Klaus Dehne, Bruce Forgan, Roger Newson, Rolf Philipona and
Tom Stoffel. Finally, I would like to thank Ellsworth Dutton as manager of the BSRN for his continuous
encouragement throughout the production of this work.
A number of individuals have graciously allowed manuscripts to be placed in the annexes for easy access.
I would encourage readers, if they use these papers, to reference them directly to the original report or
journal.
