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.

CLARA-A3: The third edition of the AVHRR-based CM SAF climate data record on clouds, radiation and surface albedo covering the period 1979 to 2023

Earth System Science Data, 2023
. This paper presents the third edition of The Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring's (CM SAF) cloud, albedo, and surface radiation dataset from advanced very-high-resolution radiometer (AVHRR) data, CLARA-A3. The content of earlier CLARA

Nimbus-6 earth radiation budget experiment

Applied Optics, 1977
This 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).

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.

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.

Surface Radiation Budget from Satellites

Monthly Weather Review, 1984
In this paper, a brief summary is presented of ongoing work dealing with the derivation of the Surface Radiation Budget (SRB) from satellite observations. The discussion will focus on the description of: (1) a model for deriving downwelling global solar radiation, (2) regression techniques for inferring the total net radiation from planetary net ...

Surface Radiation Budget

1984
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.

Surface Radiation Budget Imagery

[Proceedings] IGARSS'91 Remote Sensing: Global Monitoring for Earth Management, 2005
Linear 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 ...

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 Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget Project

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2005
Abstract This paper reports on a new satellite sensor, the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) experiment. GERB is designed to make the first measurements of the Earth's radiation budget from geostationary orbit. Measurements at high absolute accuracy of the reflected sunlight from the Earth, and the thermal radiation emitted by the Earth are ...
