Evaluation of Five Global Top-of-Atmosphere Outgoing Longwave Radiation Products
Five global monthly top-of-atmosphere (TOA) outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) products are evaluated in this study, including the products derived from the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS), Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System ...

Outgoing Longwave Radiation due to Directly Transmitted Surface Emission [PDF]
Abstract A frequently used diagram summarizing the annual- and global-mean energy budget of the earth and atmosphere indicates that the irradiance reaching the top of the atmosphere from the surface, through the midinfrared atmospheric window, is 40 W m−2; this can be compared to the total outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) of about 235 W

Seasonal Loops Between Local Outgoing Longwave Radiation and Surface Temperature [PDF]
AbstractThe relationship between outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) and the surface temperature has a major influence on Earth's climate sensitivity. Studies often assume that this relationship is approximately linear, but it is unclear whether the approximation always holds.

The South China Sea (SCS) owns the world's strongest quasi‐biweekly oscillation (QBWO) in boreal summer, but the mechanism is still unclear. This case study summarizes two modes of QBWO over the summer SCS in 2019 by using empirical orthogonal function ...

A Multispectral Camera Suite for the Observation of Earth’s Outgoing Radiative Energy
As part of the Earth Climate Observatory space mission concept for the direct observation from space of the Earth Energy Imbalance, we propose an advanced camera suite for the high-resolution observation of the Total Outgoing Radiation of the Earth.

Non-Abrupt Vegetation Changes due to Altered Nutrient Balance Make Complex Scale-Dependent Warming and Cooling Effects. [PDF]
Semi‐arid ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to elevated N deposition. However, there is still a critical gap in understanding the impact of N:P imbalance by considering biophysical changes and biogeochemical cycle. This study presents the complex scale‐dependent warming and cooling effects due to altered nutrient balance on the Mediterranean semi ...

The response of the regional longwave radiation balance and climate system in Europe to an idealized afforestation experiment [PDF]
Afforestation is an important mitigation strategy for climate change due to its carbon sequestration potential. Besides this favorable biogeochemical effect on global CO2 concentrations, afforestation also affects the regional climate by changing the ...

Development of the HIRS Outgoing Longwave Radiation Climate Dataset [PDF]
Abstract The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) product, which NOAA has been operationally generating since 1979, is a very long data record that has been used in many applications, yet past studies have shown its limitations and several algorithm-related deficiencies. Ellingson et al. have

Estimating the Earth’s Outgoing Longwave Radiation Measured from a Moon-Based Platform
Moon-based Earth observations have attracted significant attention across many large-scale phenomena. As the only natural satellite of the Earth, and having a stable lunar surface as well as a particular orbit, Moon-based Earth observations allow the ...
