Radiation Budget of the Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillation

open access: yesJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2004
Abstract This study examines the relationship between precipitation and radiative heating on intraseasonal time scales in the Tropics using collocated top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and surface radiative flux measurements from special field program data [Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program and Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean ...

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.

Planetary Radiation Budgets

Space Science Reviews, 2005
The energy state of a planet depends fundamentally on its radiation budget. Measurements made from space over past decades have led to significant revisions of ground-based estimates, both of the reflected fraction (the Bond albedo) of solar radiative flux and of the emitted thermal infrared radiation flux, for the Earth as well as for the other ...

Earth radiation budgets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1981
This paper presents the annual and seasonal averaged earth atmosphere radiation budgets derived from the most complete set of satellite observations available in late 1979. The budgets are derived from a composite of 48 monthly mean radiation budget maps.

The Radiation Budget of the Universe

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
This work sets bounds on the radiation content of the Universe and neutrino properties by using the WMAP‐7 year CMB measurements complemented with most of the existing CMB and LSS data, imposing also self‐consistent BBN constraints on the primordial helium abundance, Yp. Lepton asymmetric cosmological models are considered, parametrized by the neutrino

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 ...

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.

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.

On the radiation budget in the alps

Journal of Climatology, 1985
AbstractThis study reviews the investigations on the radiation budget in the Alps at elevations above 1500 m a.s.l. Regarding outgoing radiation, only that from snow and ice is considered. Physical relationships between radiation and variables such as elevation, month and cloud amount are discussed. The individual components of the radiation budget are

THE RADIATION BUDGET OF THE STRATOSPHERE

Journal of Meteorology, 1958
Abstract The radiation budget of the northern-hemisphere stratosphere, as a function of the mean thermal structure and composition of the stratosphere, is determined for the months of January, April, July, and October. Emission of infrared radiation by carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ozone is calculated by means of a simple numerical method derived ...
