RISDiscussion of the Elsasser Formulation for Infrared Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Elsasser and Culbertson (1960) formulation for calculating radiative fluxes has been widely used by meteorologists. Corrections to the Elsasser and Culbertson scheme have been given by Zdunkowski et al. (1966). ...
Comments on “Discussion of the Elsasser Formulation for Infrared Fluxes”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Charlock and Herman (1976, hereafter CH) have criticized the formulation of the radiative flux equation of Zdunkowski et al. (ZBL), 1966. While Zdunkowski (Z) finds their paper very interesting, he does not agree with all ...
Multiple Scattering Parameterization in Thermal Infrared Radiative Transfer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A systematic formulation of various radiative transfer parameterizations is presented, including the absorption approximation (AA), δ-two-stream approximation (D2S), δ-four-stream approximation (D4S), and δ-two- and ...
EOS Terra Aerosol and Radiative Flux Validation: An Overview of the Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: NASA developed an Earth Observing System (EOS) to study global change and reduce uncertainties associated with aerosols and other key parameters controlling climate. The first EOS satellite, Terra, was launched in December ...
First Global WCRP Shortwave Surface Radiation Budget Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Shartwave radiative fluxes that reach the earth's surface are key factors that influence atmospheric and oceanic circulations as well as surface climate. Yet, information on these fluxes is meager. Surface site data are ...
