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: Detailed observational data are used to simulate the sensitivity of clear-sky outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) to water vapor perturbations in order to investigate the effect of uncertainties in water vapor measurements ...

Abstract: Increasing heat flux in power electronics modules is taxing the limits of thermal management technologies. This is the result of wide bandgap semiconductor devices with superior voltage blocking capabilities. These same ...

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 ...
