The radiation budget of a forest canopy
Archiv für Meteorologie, Geophysik und Bioklimatologie Serie B, 1970Models were developed to separate the radiation-transfer processes of plant canopies from those of the underlying soil surface. The effect of the canopy was then examined by applying the model to springtime measurements of the fluxes of short- and longwave radiation entering and leaving a pine plantation.

Radiation Budget of the Southern Hemisphere
1972The earth as a planet receives virtually all of its energy from solar radiation. The incoming solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere is approximately 2.00 calories per minute through a 1-cm2 surface perpendicular to the solar beam when the earth is at mean distance from the sun (Johnson, 1954).4 The heating of the earth, however, is not uniform ...

Preliminary to the launch of the first Meteosat Second Generation satellite (MSG) and within support of the Geostationary Earth Radiation (GERB) instrument onboard MSG, algorithms are tested to detect aerosol optical parameters and their possible signature on the Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) using existing data from instruments on satellites in low ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 1995
A simple atmospheric radiation transfer model was used with climatological data to predict the mean monthly‐zonal (10° latitudinal zones) solar radiation budget at the Earth's surface and at the top of the atmosphere for the northern hemisphere. The model also computes the amount of energy absorbed by the atmosphere.

Nimbus-6 earth radiation budget experiment
Applied Optics, 1977This 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).

Radiometric Calibrations for the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment
Applied Optics, 1974The 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 incoming and net shortwave radiation (NSW) at the ocean surface can now be estimated from satellite data with a reasonable accuracy (5–10 w/m2) for climate studies. The accurate computations are however computer intensive and strategies should be established (sampling, averaging?) to limit the computation burden.

We briefly review the instrumental and sampling requirements to measure and/or provide adequate data sets for global determination of the planetary radiation budget at the top of the atmosphere, the surface radiation budget parameters, cloud parameters and of the radiative flux divergence within the atmosphere.

Radiation budget is called to account
Physics World, 2001Earlier this year a group of some 70 scientists spent an intense week in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado reviewing the current understanding of the radiation budget of the atmosphere. The meeting the latest in the series of Chapman Conferences organized by the American Geophysical Union, focused on the so-called anomalous absorption of

Surface Radiation Budget Imagery
[Proceedings] IGARSS'91 Remote Sensing: Global Monitoring for Earth Management, 2005Linear regressions which summarize the relationships between the turbulent fluxes of heat and latent heat of vaporization leaving the surface and surface albedos are given. This observation is based on a semi-empirical analysis of the data collected from sets of Landsat/TM (Thematic Mapper) imagery as the top of the atmosphere images have been ...
