On the retrieval of surface radiation budget components from satellites
Global and Planetary Change, 1991Abstract The retrieval of the surface radiation budget components in both the solar (0.3–4 μm) and longwave (4–100 μm) parts of the spectrum is discussed. A close linear coupling between the solar radiation field observed by the satellite and the surface radiation field facilitates the retrieval for solar radiation.

SURFRAD—A National Surface Radiation Budget Network for Atmospheric Research
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2000Abstract A surface radiation budget observing network (SURFRAD) has been established for the United States to support satellite retrieval validation, modeling, and climate, hydrology, and weather research. The primary measurements are the downwelling and upwelling components of broadband solar and thermal infrared irradiance.

Net flux sensors for the measurement of Mars surface radiation budget
SPIE Proceedings, 2012This paper reports on a net flux sensor being devised as part of a network of meteorological sensors for the acquisition of surface data of Mars. The characteristics of the measuring configuration and source of error that drive the sensor design are examined.

Parameterization Schemes and Models for Estimating the Surface Radiation Budget
1990To understand the processes of air-sea interaction fully we must include the thermodynamic energy exchanges, as well as the transfer of kinetic energy. Jacobs (1942) said it as follows: “For every meteorological change in the atmosphere over the oceans there must be a corresponding change in the energy relationships between sea and atmosphere. Thus, it

First Global WCRP Shortwave Surface Radiation Budget Dataset
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1995Shortwave radiative fluxes that reach the earth's surface are key factors that influence atmospheric and oceanic circulations as well as surface climate. Yet, information on these fluxes is meager. Surface site data are generally available from only a limited number of observing stations over land.

International Journal of Climatology, 1996
Shortwave and longwave radiative surface fluxes over four different types of highly reflective surfaces are presented, with the emphasis on the dependence of these fluxes on total cloud coverage. Measurements were performed in summer during three field campaigns: one in Greenland and two in Antarctica.

On the derivation of radiation budget parameters at the surface from satellite measurements
Advances in Space Research, 1985Abstract The modelling of climate and circulation processes requires more than ever before accurate data on the energy exchange between the earth's surface and the atmosphere. Accuracies are estimated to range between 2–20 Wm −2 for global and monthly averages.

AN APPROACH TO THE ESTIMATION OF THE SURFACE RADIATIVE PROPERTIES AND RADIATION BUDGETS OF CITIES
Physical Geography, 1982The principles of radiation geometry and the Lambertian assumption are employed to construct a numerical model of the multiple reflection effects within an urban canyon of variable geometry and surface materials. The canyon model is used to estimate the reflection coefficients for the direct and diffuse short-wave and incoming longwave radiative fluxes
