A model for the longwave radiation budget of the northern hemisphere: Comparison with Earth Radiation Budget Experiment data [PDF]
A deterministic model for atmospheric longwave radiation transfer was used with climatological data to predict the mean monthly zonal (10° latitudinal zones) longwave radiation budget at the Earth's surface and at the top of the atmosphere for the Northern Hemisphere.

Earth’s Radiation Budget: The Driver for Weather and Climate
Earth’s structure today is manifested in the known distribution of continents and oceans, in a variety of surface types, as well as in a surrounding atmosphere consisting of gaseous constituents, aerosols, and clouds. This complex composition defines a framework that determines the specific amounts of solar energy our planet currently absorbs, reflects,

Importance of radiative transfer processes in urban climate models: a study based on the PALM 6.0 model system [PDF]
Including radiative transfer processes within the urban canopy layer into microscale urban climate models (UCMs) is essential to obtain realistic model results.

A Simulation Study on Radiation Budget and Water-Heat Exchange over Alpine Grassland Based on CLM4.5
Forced by observations from 1 June to 31 August 2014, which are provided by Naqu station of Plateau Climate and Environment in northern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, CLM4.5 is used to evaluate the influence on simulated results of both radiation balance and ...

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 ...

A Model for Estimating the Earth’s Outgoing Radiative Flux from A Moon-Based Radiometer
A Moon-based radiometer can provide continuous measurements for the Earth’s full-disk broadband irradiance, which is useful for studying the Earth’s Radiation Budget (ERB) at the height of the Top of the Atmosphere (TOA).
