At NEAR, select data with sun elevation greater than 15 degrees (this limit is not critical).  The median ratio of Rsw.global/Rsw.in = 0.9938.  I note, however that there is hysteresis in the plot of Rsw.in.global versus Rsw.in.  This is consistent with the observation that the up-facing radiometers at NEAR were not perfectly leveled because of problems with the radiometer mounting device.

At FLR we select data with sun elevation greater than 20 degrees (to clear the sidewalls).  The median ratio of Rsw.global/Rsw.in = 1.0358, which is presumably perhaps higher because the bird droppings obscured Rsw.in at times.  I conclude that Rsw.global could be used as a reasonable surrogate for Rsw.in during those times.
