Downward Longwave Radiation at the Surface from Satellite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new technique is presented for generating downward longwave flux at the Earth's surface from satellite meteorological data and a radiative transfer model The technique was tested by using TIROS-N data from 41 passes over ...
Downward Longwave Surface Radiation from Sun-Synchronous Satellite Data: Validation of Methodology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An extensive study has been carried out to validate a satellite technique for estimating downward longwave radiation at the surface. The technique, mostly developed earlier, uses operational sun-synchronous satellite data ...
A Parameterization for Longwave Surface Radiation from Satellite Data: Recent Improvements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several improvements have been made recently to the parameterization for surface longwave radiation described by Gupta. Model constants have been modified in order to use meteorological data from the International Satellite ...
Estimation of Surface Insolation Using Sun-Synchronous Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique is presented for estimating insulation at the Earth's surface using only sun-synchronous satellite data. The technique was tested by comparing the insolation results from year-long satellite datasets with ...
