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.

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).

Climate and the Earth’s radiation budget

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1989
Among the first payloads aboard satellites in the early 1960s were instruments for measuring the Earth's radiation budget. The radiation budget consists of the incident and reflected sunlight and the long-wave (infrared and far infrared) radiation emitted to space.

The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget Project

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2005
Abstract This paper reports on a new satellite sensor, the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) experiment. GERB is designed to make the first measurements of the Earth's radiation budget from geostationary orbit. Measurements at high absolute accuracy of the reflected sunlight from the Earth, and the thermal radiation emitted by the Earth are ...

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.

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 ...

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 ScaRaB Earth Radiation Budget Scanning Radiometer

Metrologia, 1991
In order to ensure that Earth Radiation Budget measurement from space continues through the 1990s, France, Germany and the USSR are developing a Scanning Radiometer for Radiation Balance (ScaRaB) to be flown on a series of METEOR-3 Soviet polar orbiting weather satellites.

Earth radiation budget data from geostationary orbit

IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003
The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) instrument will be the first instrument dedicated to measure the Earth radiation budget (ERB) from geostationary orbit from the year 2000 onward. GERB combines both, spectral broadband measurements and high temporal resolution. The GERB spectral bandpass reaches from 0.32 /spl mu/m beyond 30 /spl mu/m.

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
