RISSpatial 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 ...
Shortwave Shape Factor Inversion of Earth Radiation Budget Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The shape factor technique is routinely used to invert wide-angle radiometric measurements at satellite altitude to flux at the top of the atmosphere. The derivation of a shortwave shape factor requires assumptions on both ...
Deconvolution of Wide Field-of-View Radiometer Measurements of Earth-Emitted Radiation. Part I: Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of relating satellite measurements from wide field-of-view (WFOV) radiometers to the radiant exitance emitted from the top of the atmosphere is treated. The problem is formulated as an integral equation to be ...
Computation of Radiation Budget on an Oblate Earth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effects of the earth?s oblateness on computation of its radiation budget from satellite measurements are evaluated. For the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) data processing, geolocations of the ...
Further Study on Atmospheric Lapse Rate Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Lapse rate, moist adiabatic lapse rate and the critical lapse rate for baroclinic adjustment are calculated as was done by Stone and Carlson using a different data set covering both hemispheres. Results show very good ...
Annual Cycle and Spatial Spectra of Earth Emitted Radiation at Large Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly averaged, resolution enhanced global distributions of the Earth's emitted radiation, as measured by the Nimbus-6 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) wide field of view radiometers, have been analyzed for 1 year of data ...
Earth Radiation Budget: Results of Outgoing Longwave Radiation from Nimbus-7, NOAA-9, and ERBS Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eighteen months of wide field-of-view (WFOV) outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) measurements from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) NOAA-9 and NOAA-10 spacecraft have been deconvolved to produce resolution-enhanced ...
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 ...
Gamma-Weighted Discrete Ordinate Two-Stream Approximation for Computation of Domain-Averaged Solar Irradiance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm is developed for the gamma-weighted discrete ordinate two-stream approximation that computes profiles of domain-averaged shortwave irradiances for horizontally inhomogeneous cloudy atmospheres. The algorithm ...
