Abstract: An Earth outgoing longwave radiation (OLWR) climate model was constructed for radiation budget studies. The model consists of the upward radiative transfer parameterization of Thompson and Warren, the cloud cover model of ...

Abstract: Empirical studies of total outgoing infrared radiation IR and surface temperature T have shown them to be well correlated for large time and space scales. An analysis of one year of Nimbus-6 data shows that the simple form ...

Abstract: Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) is an investigation to examine the role of cloud/radiation feedback in the Earth's climate system. The CERES broadband scanning radiometers are an improved version of ...
