Hibernated Code for the NOAA Climate Data Record for the ISSCP Radiation Budget

This is a "hibernated" code package for creating the ISCCP Radiation Budget Climate Data Record--the newest version of the ISCCP-FD product. The code package follows a very specific set of guidelines set out in the "SciTech Software Rejuvenation 'Hibernation' Process (CDRP-PRCS-0726 Rev 1)" document (contact NOAA CDR Program for more information about this document). The code package contains documentation, test data, and the code required to implement the software in a production environment. The purpose of the code is to create a dataset that improves upon previously released products that calculate global radiative fluxes that describe cloud properties, the atmosphere, and the surface. Parameters include: all broadband, upward and downward, shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) fluxes for all-, clear- and overcast-sky. The new dataset will be based on the newest version of ISCCP data products (under-development), incorporating these and other newer, improved datasets, modernized code, and a new flux profile data product for the whole period 1983-2010. The code is written using Bash, IDL and Fortran scripts.
