Abstract: Recent observations and model studies of the earth?s radiative energy balance have focused attention on the earth?s top of atmosphere (TOA) energy balance. This is the balance between the shortwave energy absorbed by the ...

Abstract: nterannual variability in spectrally resolved longwave radiances is quantified at a variety of spatial scales using 5 yr of IASI observations. Maximum variability is seen at the smallest scales investigated (10° zonal ...
