Decadal Changes of the Reflected Solar Radiation and the Earth Energy Imbalance
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,

Simultaneous Orbit, Attitude and Albedo Parameter Estimation Using Satellite Surface Temperature Data [PDF]
Development of low-cost small satellites has been at the center of attention in recent years. Concurrent Orbit and Attitude Estimation (COAE) requires fewer sensors onboard and subsequently results in some cost reductions.

Global distribution of Earth’s surface shortwave radiation budget [PDF]
Abstract. The monthly mean shortwave (SW) radiation budget at the Earth's surface (SRB) was computed on 2.5-degree longitude-latitude resolution for the 17-year period from 1984 to 2000, using a radiative transfer model accounting for the key physical parameters that determine the surface SRB, and long-term climatological data from the International ...

Observing the Earth radiation budget (ERB) from satellites is crucial for monitoring and understanding Earth’s climate. One of the major challenges for ERB observations, particularly for reflected shortwave radiation, is the conversion of the measured ...

Earth Radiation Budget Experiment
During the past 4 years, instruments of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) have been collecting data on two satellites. The first of these is the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS). The second is the operational NOAA‐9 satellite. In addition, ERBE has instruments on the operational NOAA‐10.

Characterizing energy budget variability at a Sahelian site: a test of NWP model behaviour [PDF]
We use observations of surface and top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) broadband radiation fluxes determined from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement programme mobile facility, the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) and Spinning Enhanced Visible ...

Diagnosing the Radiation Biases in Global Climate Models Using Radiative Kernels
Radiation energy balance at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) is a critical boundary condition for the Earth climate. It is essential to validate it in the global climate models (GCM) on both global and regional scales.

Design and Analysis of a Next-Generation Wide Field-of-View Earth Radiation Budget Radiometer
Climate on Earth is determined by the Earth Radiation Budget (ERB), which quantifies the incoming and outgoing radiative energy fluxes. The ERB can be monitored by non-scanning wide field-of-view radiometers, or by scanning narrow field-of-view ...

Here, we recall first quantitative measurements of terrestrial and atmospheric thermal infrared radiation that were made about hundred years ago, and relate them to present day radiation budget measurements and greenhouse effect investigations through ...
