The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE)

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1984
The three-satellite ERBE will be flown in the mid-1980s and will provide upgraded data on changes in the input and outflow of energy which drives climatic phenomena. The spacecraft will carry radiometers, self-calibration equipment, and be programmed with inversion and averaging algorithms. Radiation will be scanned at 0.2-5 and 5-50 microns. The ACRIM

Geostationary earth radiation budget instrument

SPIE Proceedings, 1994
GERB is an instrument which has been designed by a team led by British Aerospace Space Systems Ltd. to measure the Earth Radiation Budget from a Geostationary Satellite. The results presented in this paper are the outcome of a Phase A design study of an AO instrument to meet a set of science requirements defined by ESTEC and a Science Advisory Group ...

Cloud Types and the Tropical Earth Radiation Budget

Journal of Climate, 1990
Nimbus-7 cloud and earth radiation budget data are compared in a study of the effects of clouds on the tropical radiation budget. The data consist of daily averages over fixed 500 sq km target areas, and the months of July 1979 and January 1980 were chosen to show the effect of seasonal changes.

The sensitivity of the earth's radiation budget to changes in cloudiness

Advances in Space Research, 1981
Abstract Cloudiness modulates the radiation budget at the top of the Earth-atmosphere system. For radiation balance studies, for climate diagnostic studies, and for climate modeling studies, it is important to know the sensitivity of both the outgoing longwave radiation and the net (absorbed solar minus outgoing longwave) radiation of the system to ...

Solar radiation and the energy budget of the earth

2005
Abstract Table 2.1 compares the principal sources of energy available to drive the Earth’s climate system. It confirms what we would expect intuitively: that virtually all, in fact 99.97%, of the energy arrives from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Clouds, the earth's radiation budget, and the hydrologic cycle

Global and Planetary Change, 1991
Abstract Water vapor plays a key role in climate change scenarios through the water vapor feedback loop. The distribution of water vapor obviously controls the distribution of clouds, but the opposite is also true because clouds carry out important vertical redistributions of the vapor. This paper presents comparisons of water vapor observations with

Earth Radiation Budget data and climate research

Reviews of Geophysics, 1986
An overview is presented of the uses of top of the atmosphere radiation budget measurements in studies of climate. The net radiative energy flux at the top of the atmosphere must be balanced by local heat storage in the earth‐atmosphere column or by horizontal transport in the atmosphere and ocean. Regional variations in the components of the radiation

The role of cloud phase in Earth's radiation budget

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2017
AbstractThe radiative impact of clouds strongly depends on their partitioning between liquid and ice phases. Until recently, however, it has been challenging to unambiguously discriminate cloud phase in a number of important global regimes. CloudSat and CALIPSO supply vertically resolved measurements necessary to identify clouds composed of both liquid

Satellite Observations of the Earth’s Radiation Budget Variability

1987
On the basis of 45-month satellite observation data on the earth’s radiation budget (ERB), component studies of the ERB intermonthly variability (upon filtering out the annual change) were carried out, along with teleconnections between the anomalies of the ERB fields in different global regions.
