Editorial for Special Issue “Earth Radiation Budget” [PDF]

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

Long-Time Variation and Mechanism of Surface Energy Budget Over Diverse Geographical Regions in Pakistan

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Earth's energy budget is a major force that drives global climate. The long-term pattern of land surface energy budget with pronounced biophysical effects on climate was normally ignored at a regional scale, particularly in Pakistan.

Clouds damp the radiative impacts of polar sea ice loss [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2020
Clouds play an important role in the climate system: (1) cooling Earth by reflecting incoming sunlight to space and (2) warming Earth by reducing thermal energy loss to space. Cloud radiative effects are especially important in polar regions and have the

Earth's Outgoing Radiation Monitoring From the Moon

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Earth's outgoing radiation (EOR) at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) is a vital parameter of earth's energy budget. Moon-based earth observations as one of the scientific goals of the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) project could ...
