RISThe 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 ...
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 ...
Radiative Transfer Modeling for the CLAMS Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spectral and broadband radiances and irradiances (fluxes) were measured from surface, airborne, and spaceborne platforms in the Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) campaign. The radiation ...
Surface Irradiances Consistent with CERES-Derived Top-of-Atmosphere Shortwave and Longwave Irradiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he estimate of surface irradiance on a global scale is possible through radiative transfer calculations using satellite-retrieved surface, cloud, and aerosol properties as input. Computed top-of-atmosphere (TOA) irradiances, ...
Unfiltering Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) Scanner Radiances Using the CERES Algorithm and Its Evaluation with Nonscanner Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NOAA-9 Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) scanner measured broadband shortwave, longwave, and total radiances from February 1985 through January 1987. These scanner radiances are reprocessed using the more recent ...
