Regional-Scale Diurnal Variations of Outgoing Infrared Radiation Observed by METEOSAT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For any given area, diurnal variation of the emitted longwave radiation reveals the response of the surface and atmosphere to the astronomical diurnal forcing. However, the diurnal rhythm can be masked locally by changes ...
Determination of Longwave Anisotropic Emission Factors from Combined Broad-and Narrowband Radiance Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The conversion of measured radiances into radiative fluxes requires application of angular corrections; in the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), the longwave anisotropic emission factors (AEFS) were tabulated for ...
Cloud Field Identification for Earth Radiation Budget Studies. Part II: Cloud Field Classification for the ScaRaB Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Gaining a better understanding of the influence of clouds on the earth's energy budget requires a cloud classification that takes into account cloud height, thickness, and cloud cover. The radiometer ScaRaB (scanner for ...
The ScaRaB–Resurs Earth Radiation Budget Dataset and First Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements made by the second flight model of the Scanner for Radiation Budget (ScaRaB) instrument have been processed and are now available for the scientific community. Although this set of data is relatively short and ...
The ScaRaB Earth Radiation Budget Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Following an overview of the scientific objectives and organization of the French?Russian?German Scanner for Radiation Budget (ScaRaB) project, brief descriptions of the instrument, its ground calibration, and in-flight ...
