On the Lessons Learned from the Operations of the ERBE Nonscanner Instrument in Space and the Production of the Nonscanner TOA Radiation Budget Dataset. [PDF]
Monitoring the flow of radiative energy at top of atmosphere (TOA) is essential for understanding Earth’s climate and how it is changing with time. The determination of TOA global net radiation budget using broadband nonscanner instruments has received ...

Measurement of the Earth Radiation Budget at the Top of the Atmosphere—A Review
The Earth Radiation Budget at the top of the atmosphere quantifies how the Earth gains energy from the Sun and loses energy to space. It is of fundamental importance for climate and climate change.

Radiative sensitivity quantified by a new set of radiation flux kernels based on the ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) [PDF]
Radiative sensitivity, i.e., the response of the radiative flux to climate perturbations, is essential to understanding climate change and variability. The sensitivity kernels computed by radiative transfer models have been broadly used for assessing the

Remote sensing of earth’s energy budget: synthesis and review
The Earth’s climate is largely determined by its energy budget. Since the 1960s, satellite remote sensing has been used in estimating these energy budget components at both the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and the surface.

Global distribution of Earth's surface shortwave radiation budget [PDF]
The monthly mean shortwave (SW) radiation budget at the Earth's surface (SRB) was computed on 2.5-degree longitude-latitude resolution for the 17-year period from 1984 to 2000, using a radiative transfer model accounting for the key physical parameters ...
