Abstract: he seasonal cycle of the Earth radiation budget is investigated by use of data from the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES). Monthly mean maps of reflected solar flux and Earth-emitted flux on a 1° equal-angle ...

Abstract: The diurnal cycle of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) computed by a climate model provides a powerful test of the numerical description of various physical processes. Diurnal cycles of OLR computed by version 3 of the ...

Abstract: he annual cycles of upward and downward longwave fluxes at the earth?s surface are investigated by use of the NASA Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Surface Radiation Budget Dataset. Principal component ...
