Earth radiation budgets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1981
This paper presents the annual and seasonal averaged earth atmosphere radiation budgets derived from the most complete set of satellite observations available in late 1979. The budgets are derived from a composite of 48 monthly mean radiation budget maps.

Geostationary earth radiation budget

SPIE Proceedings, 1997
The Earth Radiation Budget (ERB), the balance between the incoming solar radiation from the sun and the outgoing reflected and scattered solar radiation and the thermal infrared emission from the Earth, provides information on the fundamental energy source of the climate system.

Satellite Observations of the Earth's Radiation Budget

Science, 1969
Meteorological satellites have provided the first complete data on energy exchange between earth and space. The planetary albedo is 29 percent for the mean annual case, and the entire earth-atmosphere system is in near radiative equilibrium. More energy is absorbed in tropical regions than previously believed, and major energy source and sink regions ...

Aerosol impact on the Earth radiation budget-a study in support of the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget experiment

IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003
Preliminary to the launch of the first Meteosat Second Generation satellite (MSG) and within support of the Geostationary Earth Radiation (GERB) instrument onboard MSG, algorithms are tested to detect aerosol optical parameters and their possible signature on the Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) using existing data from instruments on satellites in low ...

Nimbus-6 earth radiation budget experiment

Applied Optics, 1977
This paper describes the Nimbus-6 earth radiation budget experiment including its prelaunch calibration and in-flight performance. A preliminary assessment of the data shows the ERB measurement of the solar constant to be 1392 W/m(2) which is 1.6% higher than the expected value of 1370 W/m(2).

Radiometric Calibrations for the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment

Applied Optics, 1974
The earth radiation budget (ERB) experiment is scheduled to be flown aboard the NIMBUS F satellite that is to be launched in mid-1974. This experiment includes channels, to measure solar radiation, earth-reflected radiation (albedo), and earth-emitted long-wave radiation.

The Earth Radiation Budget

1990
Satellite observations of the radiation entering and leaving the Earth-atmosphere system and their use for studies of the Earth’s climate are discussed in this chapter. Prior to the satellite era, the Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) was estimated by using radiative transfer calculations.

Characteristics of the earth radiation budget experiment solar monitors

Applied Optics, 1987
The earth radiation budget experiment solar monitors, active cavity pyrheliometers, have been developed to measure every two weeks the total optical solar irradiance from the earth radiation budget satellite (ERBS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA-9 spacecraft platforms.

Diffraction and polarization effects in Earth radiation budget measurements

Applied Optics, 2016
Thermal radiation emitted and reflected from the Earth and viewed from near-Earth orbit may be characterized by its spectral distribution, its degree of coherence, and its state of polarization. The current generation of broadband Earth radiation budget instruments has been designed to minimize the effect of diffraction and polarization on science ...
