Approximately 20 buoys worldwide measure the full surface energy budget, with the primary limitation being the availability of a
pyrgeometer (longwave radiation sensor), as it is difficult to calibrate and maintain (Yu et al.
Figure 2 shows the annual cycle of the mean downwelling thermal radiation measured by a
pyrgeometer and overhead cloud fraction measured using a total sky imager.
Radiation A Solys2 sun tracker with two CP2I pyranometers (shaded and nonshaded) mea- suring visible radiation (0.285-2.80 pm), a CGR4 shaded
pyrgeometer measuring thermal radiation (4.50-42.0 pm), and a CHPI pyrheliometer measuring direct irradiance (0.20-4.00 pm).
Forcing data were incident short and long wave solar radiation (measured with Kipp & Zonen, Inc., pyranometers and
pyrgeometers facing up and down at a height of 9 m from the ground), air temperature and relative humidity (measured with Vaisala, Inc., model HMP 45C-L probe at the same height as the radiation sensors), horizontal wind velocity (measured with R.

pyrgeometers, installed at 2 m above a grassy surface, were used as receivers of longwave radiation.
The net radiometer, which consists of two pyranometers and two
pyrgeometers, measures net radiant fluxes for both the solar (0.3-2.8 [micro]m) and the far infrared (5-50 [micro]m) spectrums separately.
