In-Flight Spectral Characterization and Calibration Stability Estimates for the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is essential to maintain global measurements of the earth radiation budget (ERB) from space, the scattered solar and emitted thermal radiative fluxes leaving the planet. These are required for the purpose of validating ...
Real-Time Determination of Earth Radiation Budget Spectral Signatures for Nonlinear Unfiltering of Results from MERBE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAmong the best ways to gain more certainty in climate model prediction is to compare and constrain simulations with worldwide satellite measurements of the Earth radiation budget (ERB) short- and longwave radiant ...
Probabilistic Risk Assessment for Improvised Explosive Device Attacks That Cause Significant Building Damage
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Most vulnerability assessments assume that an improvised explosive device (IED) will reach maximum TNT equivalency, and that the IED will successfully detonate. These assumptions will tend to overestimate actual blast-load ...
Multi-Instrument Comparison of Top-of-Atmosphere Reflected Solar Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR), and Sea-Viewing Wide-Field-of-View Sensor ...
