Measuring Global Ocean Heat Content to Estimate the Earth Energy Imbalance [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The energy radiated by the Earth toward space does not compensate the incoming radiation from the Sun leading to a small positive energy imbalance at the top of the atmosphere (0.4–1 Wm–2). This imbalance is coined Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI).

Earth's Energy Imbalance More Than Doubled in Recent Decades

AGU Advances
Global warming results from anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions which upset the delicate balance between the incoming sunlight, and the reflected and emitted radiation from Earth.

Decadal Changes of the Reflected Solar Radiation and the Earth Energy Imbalance [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2019
Decadal changes of the Reflected Solar Radiation (RSR) as measured by CERES from 2000 to 2018 are analysed. For both polar regions, changes of the clear-sky RSR correlate well with changes of the Sea Ice Extent. In the Arctic, sea ice is clearly melting,

An intensification of surface Earth’s energy imbalance since the late 20th century

Communications Earth & Environment
Tracking the energy balance of the Earth system is a key method for studying the contribution of human activities to climate change. However, accurately estimating the surface energy balance has long been a challenge, primarily due to uncertainties that ...

Negligible contribution from aerosols to recent trends in Earth's energy imbalance. [PDF]

Sci Adv
During the 21st century, Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI) at the top of atmosphere has markedly increased because of greater absorbed shortwave (SW) rather than reduced outgoing longwave radiation. Previous studies using single-forcing (aerosol-only) experiments attributed approximately half of the positive SW trend to reductions in anthropogenic ...

Earth’s Energy Imbalance Measured From Space [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2019
The direct measurement of earth’s energy imbalance (EEI) is one of the greatest challenges in climate research. The global mean EEI represents the integrated value of global warming and is tightly linked to changes in hydrological cycle and the habitability of our planet. Current space-born radiometers measure the individual radiative components of the

An imperative to monitor Earth's energy imbalance [PDF]

Nature Climate Change, 2016
The current Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) is mostly caused by human activity, and is driving global warming. The absolute value of EEI represents the most fundamental metric defining the status of global climate change, and will be more useful than using global surface temperature.

Optical System Design of a Wide Field-of-View Camera for the Characterization of Earth’s Reflected Solar Radiation

Remote Sensing, 2020
We report on the conceptual design of a new wide field-of-view shortwave camera, for measuring Earth’s reflected solar radiation. The camera comprises a commercial-off-the-shelf CMOS sensor, and a custom-designed wide field-of-view lens system with an ...

Editorial for Special Issue “Earth Radiation Budget”

Remote Sensing, 2020
The Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) at the top of the atmosphere describes how the Earth gains energy from the Sun and loses energy to space through the reflection of solar radiation and the emission of thermal radiation. The ERB is measured from space with

Wide-Field-of-View Longwave Camera for the Characterization of the Earth’s Outgoing Longwave Radiation

Sensors, 2021
The measurement of the Earth’s Outgoing Longwave Radiation plays a key role in climate change monitoring. This measurement requires a compact wide-field-of-view camera, covering the 8–14 µm wavelength range, which is not commercially available. Therefore,
