RISTop-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 ...
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Terra Satellite. Part I: Methodology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Clouds and Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) provides coincident global cloud and aerosol properties together with reflected solar, emitted terrestrial longwave, and infrared window radiative fluxes. These data are ...
Limb-darkening Models from Along-Track Operation of the ERBE Scanning Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During January and August 1985, the scanning radiometers of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (F-RBE) aboard the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) and the NOAA-9 satellite were operated in along- track scanning ...
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Terra Satellite. Part II: Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Errors in top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative fluxes from the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument due to uncertainties in radiance-to-flux conversion from CERES Terra angular distribution models ...
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite. Part II: Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative fluxes from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) are estimated from empirical angular distribution models (ADMs) that convert instantaneous radiance measurements to TOA ...
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite. Part I: Methodology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) investigates the critical role that clouds and aerosols play in modulating the radiative energy flow within the Earth?atmosphere system. CERES builds upon the foundation ...
Toward Optimal Closure of the Earth's Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Despite recent improvements in satellite instrument calibration and the algorithms used to determine reflected solar (SW) and emitted thermal (LW) top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative fluxes, a sizeable imbalance persists in ...
