Abstract
Data were collected by the Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) Visible Radiometer from 10th of May 2001 to the present at Chilbolton, Hampshire.
The dataset contains measurements of high accuracy total global, or diffuse sky, solar radiation measurement research on a plane/level surface, for extreme temperature environments.
