RISThe Estimation of Emitted and Reflected Energy over the Central Pacific Using Meteorological Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors conducted a quantitative investigation of the relationship between meteorological parameters (chiefly cloud cover) and the principal components of the earth's radiation budget. The area of study is the tropical ...
Statistical Estimates of Monthly Mean and Interannual Changes of Radiation Fluxes at the Top of the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiple linear regression is used to relate monthly means and year-to-year changes of the monthly mean planetary albedo and infrared flux leaving the atmosphere, as measured by NOAA satellites, to certain meteorological ...
In-Flight Calibration of the Nimbus-7 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) Sensors. Part I: A Thermal Model for the Shortwave Channels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Much of the early record of spectrally broadband earth radiation budget (ERB) measurements was taken by the ERB instrument launched on the Nimbus-7 spacecraft in October 1978. The wide-field-of-view (WFOV) sensors measured ...
In-Flight Calibration of the Nimbus-7 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) Sensors. Part II: Short-Term Perturbations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the production calibration adjustment algorithms used to remove thermal perturbation and stray light noise signals from the Nimbus-7 earth radiation budget (ERB) measurements. Sunlight, both direct and ...
In-Flight Calibration of the Nimbus-7 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) Sensors. Part III: Long-Term Changes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sensitivity changes in the four wide-field-of-view (WFOV) Nimbus-7 earth radiation budget (ERB) sensors were monitored over a 9-yr period (November 1978?October 1987) by use of a number of reference sources. The sun was ...
