Spatial Variability of Outgoing Longwave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment scanning radiometer aboard the NOAA-9 operational meteorological satellite are used to investigate the spatial variability of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR). Daily and ...
Deconvolution of Wide-Field-of-View Measurements of Reflected Solar Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wide-field-of-view (WFOV) radiometers have been flown as part of the Earth Radiation Budget instrument on the Nimbus 6 and 7 spacecraft and as part of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) instruments aboard the ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Outgoing Longwave Radiation from Earth Radiation Budget Experiment Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) from the earth is analyzed by decomposing satellite observations into a set of empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs). The observations are from the Earth Radiation ...
Diurnal Variations of Albedo Retrieved from Earth Radiation Budget Experiment Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ive years of measurements from the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) have been analyzed to define the diurnal cycle of albedo from 55°N to 55°S. The ERBS precesses through all local times every 72 days so as to provide ...
Observing Interannual Variations in Hadley Circulation Atmospheric Diabatic Heating and Circulation Strength
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite and reanalysis data are used to observe interannual variations in atmospheric diabatic heating and circulation within the ascending and descending branches of the Hadley circulation (HC) during the past 12 yr. The ...
A Supplementary Clear-Sky Snow and Ice Recognition Technique for CERES Level 2 Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: dentification of clear-sky snow and ice is an important step in the production of cryosphere radiation budget products, which are used in the derivation of long-term data series for climate research. In this paper, a new ...
Cloud Effects on the Meridional Atmospheric Energy Budget Estimated from Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The zonal mean atmospheric cloud radiative effect, defined as the difference between the top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) and surface cloud radiative effects, is estimated from 3 yr of Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy ...
Comparison of the Diurnal Cycle of Outgoing Longwave Radiation from a Climate Model with Results from ERBE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
An Algorithm for the Constraining of Radiative Transfer Calculations to CERES-Observed Broadband Top-of-Atmosphere Irradiance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ASA?s Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project is responsible for operation and data processing of observations from scanning radiometers on board the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Terra, ...
CERES Synoptic Product: Methodology and Validation of Surface Radiant Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System Synoptic (SYN1deg), edition 3, product provides climate-quality global 3-hourly 1° ? 1°gridded top of atmosphere, in-atmosphere, and surface radiant fluxes. The in-atmosphere ...
