Abstract: Daily sums of the downward solar radiation, i.e., the global radiation, have been computed from imaging data of reflected solar and emitted infrared radiation which were measured from the geostationary satellites METEOSAT ...

Abstract: Coordinated measurements of the earth's radiation to space within the 6.3-? band of water vapor and the 8?13 ? atmospheric window were made over a five month period from February to June 1962 from the TIROS IV meteorological ...

Abstract: Simulations of scattering and polarization properties for randomly oriented polyhedral ice crystals are presented based on the geometric optics and the far-field diffraction approximation. Particle shapes range from various ...

Abstract: Two methods to incorporate subgrid variability in soil moisture and runoff production into soil?vegetation?atmosphere transfer (SVAT) models are compared: 1) the variable infiltration capacity model approach (VIC), and 2) ...

Abstract: his study examines radiative flux distributions and local spread of values from three major observational datasets (CERES, ISCCP, and SRB) and compares them with results from climate modeling (CMIP3). Examinations of the ...

Abstract: Measurements of reflected solar radiation and emitted thermal radiation taken with a radiometer on the meteorological satellite Nimbus 3 during 10 semi-monthly periods (April?15 August, 3?17 October, 1969; 21 January?3 ...

Abstract: The Scanner for Radiation Budget (ScaRaB) is a satellite-based radiometer for measurements of the planetary radiation budget. It was launched in January 1994 on a Russian METEOR-3 platform and provided excellent data from ...
