Evaluation of the Arctic surface radiation budget in CMIP5 models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2016
AbstractThe Arctic region is warming at a rate more than double the global average, a trend predicted to continue by all Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) climate models. Despite this consistency, significant intermodel spread exists in the simulated Arctic climate related to differences in the Arctic surface radiation budget.

Impact of fire on global land surface air temperature and energy budget for the 20th century due to changes within ecosystems

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Fire is a global phenomenon and tightly interacts with the biosphere and climate. This study provides the first quantitative assessment and understanding of fire’s influence on the global annual land surface air temperature and energy budget through its ...

Energetics of monsoons and deserts: role of surface albedo vs water vapor feedback [PDF]

Earth System Dynamics
Despite receiving similar solar energy, the top–of–the–atmosphere (TOA) radiation budget is near-zero over deserts and positive over monsoon domains. This contrast has been attributed to differences in the surface albedo between the two regions. Here, we

Surface heat budget in the Southern Ocean from 42°S to the Antarctic marginal ice zone: four atmospheric reanalyses versus icebreaker Aurora Australis measurements

Polar Research, 2019
Surface heat fluxes from four atmospheric reanalyses in the Southern Ocean are evaluated using air–sea measurements obtained from the Aurora Australis during off-winter seasons in 2010–12. The icebreaker tracked between Hobart, Tasmania (ca.

Examining the impacts of urbanization on surface radiation using Landsat imagery

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2019
Metropolitan Beijing is facing many environmental problems such as haze and urban heat island due to the rapid urbanization. Surface shortwave, longwave, and net radiations are key components of the surface-atmosphere radiation budget.

A Climatology of Surface Radiation Budget Derived from Satellite Data

Journal of Climate, 1999
Abstract Climatological averages of surface radiation budget parameters, namely, the shortwave and longwave surface radiative fluxes, have been derived for each month of the year on a global scale. These climatological averages were derived from an 8-yr (96 month) time series of monthly average fluxes.

New data set on surface radiation budget available on‐line

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1996
A new long‐term global data set of monthly average surface shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) fluxes extending from July 1983 to June 1991 is now available. It is the product of computationally fast radiative transfer algorithms that compute global surface radiative fluxes using satellite data.

Estimation of the radiation budget during MOSAiC based on ground-based and satellite remote sensing observations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
An accurate representation of the radiation budget is essential for investigating the impact of clouds on the climate system, especially in the Arctic, an environment highly sensitive to complex and rapid environmental changes.
