Here we make available the monthly mean maps in ascii format for the current processed dta and the ability to plot the surface Ultra Violet (UV Index), Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) and Total SW down at the Earth's surface from the CERES 'AVG' data product. AVG variables grouped together and made available here. Variable Group Flux Variables(All Wm-2 unless otherwise noted.)
