RISImprovements in the Shortwave Cloud-free Radiation Budget Accuracy. Part I: Numerical Study Including Surface Anisotropy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The shortwave radiation field, i.e., in the solar spectral range, emerging at the top of the atmosphere is anisotropic due to the optical properties of the atmosphere and the reflectance characteristics of the underlying ...
Improvements in the Shortwave Cloud-free Radiation Budget Accuracy. Part II: Experimental Study Including Mixed Surface Albedos
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is presented to obtain area mean radiant flux densities at the surface in the solar spectral range in cloud-free conditions. This is accomplished by fitting a realistic radiation model with actual atmospheric data ...
Comparison of Cirrus Height and Optical Depth Derived from Satellite and Aircraft Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the International Cirrus Experiment (ICE'89) simultaneous measurements of Cirrus cloud-top height and optical depth by satellite and aircraft have been taken. Data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer ...
