The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) is the first multi-satellite system designed to measure the Earth's radiation budget. It will fly on a low-inclination NASA satellite and two Sun-synchronous NOAA satellites ...
Some Effects of 8–12 µm Radiant Energy Transfer on the Mass and Heat Budgets of Cloud Droplets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In standard treatments of the mass and energy budget of cloud droplets, radiant energy transfer is neglected on the grounds that the temperature difference between the droplet and its surroundings is small. This paper ...
Design and Implementation of a Prototype Data System for Earth Radiation Budget, Cloud, Aerosol, and Chemistry Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Earth Observing System (EOS) will collect data from a large number of satellite-borne instruments, beginning later in this decade. To make data accessible to the scientific community, NASA will build an EOS Data and ...
A Preliminary Computer Pattern Analysis of Satellite Images of Mature Extratropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study has applied computerized pattern analysis techniques to the location and classification of feature of several mature extratropical cyclones that were depicted in GOES satellite images. These features include the ...
Numerical Filtering of Spurious Transients in a Satellite Scanning Radiometer: Application to CERES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Clouds and Earth Radiant Energy System (CERES) scanning radiometer was designed to provide high accuracy measurements of the radiances from the earth. Calibration testing of the instruments showed the presence of an ...
Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES): An Earth Observing System Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) is an investigation to examine the role of cloud/radiation feedback in the Earth's climate system. The CERES broadband scanning radiometers are an improved version of ...
Postlaunch Radiometric Validation of the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Proto-Flight Model on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Spacecraft through 1999
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Each Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument contains three scanning thermistor bolometer radiometric channels. These channels measure broadband radiances in the shortwave (0.3?5.0 ?m), total (0.3?>100 ...
The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Sensors and Preflight Calibration Plans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) spacecraft sensors are designed to measure broadband earth-reflected solar shortwave (0.3?5 µm) and earth-emitted longwave (5? > 100 µm) radiances at the top of the ...
