RISDirect Aerosol Radiative Forcing Uncertainty Based on a Radiative Perturbation Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To provide a lower bound for the uncertainty in measurement-based clear- and all-sky direct aerosol radiative forcing (DARF), a radiative perturbation analysis is performed for the ideal case in which the perturbations in ...
Twilight Irradiance Reflected by the Earth Estimated from Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The upward shortwave irradiance at the top of the atmosphere when the solar zenith angle is greater than 90° (twilight irradiance) is estimated from radiance measurements by the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System ...
Top-of-Atmosphere Direct Radiative Effect of Aerosols over the Tropical Oceans from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Satellite Instrument
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nine months of the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES)/Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) broadband fluxes combined with the TRMM visible infrared scanner (VIRS) high-resolution imager measurements ...
Application of an Artificial Neural Network Simulation for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from CERES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) provides top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative flux estimates from shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) radiance measurements by applying empirical angular distribution ...
Seasonal Variation of the Physical Properties of Marine Boundary Layer Clouds off the California Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds can significantly regulate the sensitivity of climate models, yet they are currently poorly simulated. This study aims to characterize the seasonal variations of physical properties of ...

Impact of Sun-Synchronous Diurnal Sampling on Tropical TOA Flux Interannual Variability and Trends
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite observations of the earth?s radiation budget (ERB) are a critical component of the climate observing system. Recent observations have been made from sun-synchronous orbits, which provide excellent spatial coverage ...
Inference of Marine Stratus Cloud Optical Depths from Satellite Measurements: Does 1D Theory Apply?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The validity of plane-parallel (1D) radiative transfer theory for cloudy atmospheres is examined by directly comparing calculated and observed visible reflectances for one month of Global Area Coverage Advanced Very High ...
Top-of-Atmosphere Direct Radiative Effect of Aerosols over Global Oceans from Merged CERES and MODIS Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The direct radiative effect of aerosols (DREA) is defined as the difference between radiative fluxes in the absence and presence of aerosols. In this study, the direct radiative effect of aerosols is estimated for 46 months ...
Assessing Stability of CERES-FM3 Daytime Longwave Unfiltered Radiance with AIRS Radiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: louds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) daytime longwave (LW) radiances are determined from the difference between a total (TOT) channel (0.3?200 ?m) measurement and a shortwave (SW) channel (0.3?5 ?m) measurement, ...
