Decadal Changes of Earth’s Outgoing Longwave Radiation
The Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) at the top of the atmosphere quantifies how the earth gains energy from the sun and loses energy to space. Its monitoring is of fundamental importance for understanding ongoing climate change.

Earth's Outgoing Radiation Monitoring From the Moon
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 ...

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.

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 ...

Introducing Potential Radiative Forcing (PRF) for quantifying the Earth radiation budget [PDF]
In order to investigate the contributions of atmospheric factors to variability in surface shortwave irradiance (S) under both cloud-free and cloudy sky conditions, we defined the sensitivity of S to differential increases from given values of cloud ...

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 ...
