... Benefits: Benchmarking of climate record to produce accurate trends and improve climate predictions Verification and improvement of climate models Ozone and surface radiation forecasts and public advisories Decisions to address a wide range of societal concerns rely on accurate climate records and credible long-term outlooks. A vital element in climate monitoring and assessment is the amount of ra diation entering and leaving the Earth system.
