RISReflection and Emission Models for Deserts Derived from Nimbus-7 ERB Scanner Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Broadband shortwave and longwave radiance measurements obtained from the Nimbus-7 Earth Radiation Budget scanner were used to develop reflectance and emittance models for the Sahara-Arabian, Gibson, and Saudi Deserts. The ...
Downward Longwave Radiation at the Surface from Satellite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new technique is presented for generating downward longwave flux at the Earth's surface from satellite meteorological data and a radiative transfer model The technique was tested by using TIROS-N data from 41 passes over ...
Downward Longwave Surface Radiation from Sun-Synchronous Satellite Data: Validation of Methodology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An extensive study has been carried out to validate a satellite technique for estimating downward longwave radiation at the surface. The technique, mostly developed earlier, uses operational sun-synchronous satellite data ...
Estimation of Surface Insolation Using Sun-Synchronous Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique is presented for estimating insulation at the Earth's surface using only sun-synchronous satellite data. The technique was tested by comparing the insolation results from year-long satellite datasets with ...
First Estimates of the Diurnal Variation of Longwave Radiation from the Multiple-Satellite Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: First results for diurnal cycles derived from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) are presented for the combined Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) and NOAA-9 spacecraft for April 1985. Regional scale longwave ...
