Abstract
The operational features of the new RAD-MSU(BSRN) robotic radiation complex, mounted at the MSU Meteorological Observatory in 2021, are discussed. Though the RAD-MSU(BSRN) complex is not a part of BSRN (Baseline Surface Radiation Network), it is equipped with a full set of instruments recommended by the BSRN, including for measurements of all components of net radiation, UVA radiation, erythemal UV radiation, and sunshine duration. The specially developed software for visualization and processing of measurement data, including evaluation of data quality criteria, is described. The main features of variability of the components of net radiation and UV radiation in 2021 are analyzed.
