RISOn the Application of the Optimum Statistical Inversion Technique to the Evaluation of Umkehr Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The optimum statistical inversion technique is applied to the evaluation of Umkehr observations from Arosa (46.5N, 9.4E), Aspendale (38.0S, 145.IE) and Tallahassee (30.2N, 84.2W). A Priori statistical information on the ...
Determining Surface Solar Absorption from Broadband Satellite Measurements for Clear Skies: Comparison with Surface Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two separate datasets both of which provide measurements of net downward shortwave radiation have been combined, so as to provide a means of critically examining methods for transferring satellite measurements to the ...
Impact of Clouds on the Shortwave Radiation Budget of the Surface-Atmosphere System for Snow-Covered Surfaces
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent data from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) have raised the question as to whether or not the addition of clouds to the atmospheric column can decrease the top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) albedo over bright ...
The Impact of Clouds on the Shortwave Radiation Budget of the Surface-Atmosphere System: Interfacing Measurements and Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two datasets have been combined to demonstrate how the availability of more comprehensive datasets could serve to elucidate the shortwave radiative impact of clouds on both the atmospheric column and the surface. These ...
