Advances in Understanding Top-of- Atmosphere Radiation Variability from Satellite Observations
This paper highlights how the emerging record of satellite observations from the Earth Observation System (EOS) and A-Train constellation are advancing our ability to more completely document and understand the underlying processes associated with variations in the Earth’s top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation budget. Large-scale TOA radiation changes during the past decade are observed to be withi...
متن کاملSatellite Observations of Cool Ocean – Atmosphere Interaction
| H igh sea surface temperature (SST) is generally required for deep convection that reaches the tropopause. In the current climate, the SST threshold for deep convection is somewhere around 26°–27°C, depending upon region and season (Gra-ham and Barnett 1987; Waliser et al. 1993). Over such warm oceans, SST changes cause deep convective adjustment , which in turn excites the dynamic response o...
متن کاملAdvances in Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Satellite Instrument
This study introduces new CERES Angular Distribution Models (ADMs) for estimating shortwave, longwave and window top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes from broadband radiance measurements. By combining CERES measurements with narrowband, high-resolution imager measurements, up to a factor 4 improvement in TOA flux accuracy is achieved compared to TOA flux estimates from previous experiments, such ...
متن کاملAdvances in Earth Radiation Budget Observations from Ceres Terra
The goal of the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) project is to provide a long-term record of radiation budget at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA), within the atmosphere, and at the surface with consistent cloud and aerosol properties at climate accuracy [1]. CERES consists of an integrated instrument-algorithm-validation science team that provides development of higher-level prod...
متن کاملFORTE Satellite Observations of VHF Radiation from Lightning Discharges
The Los Alamos National Laboratory/Sandia National Laboratory FORTE satellite is described and its capabilities for global remote sensing of lightning in the radio regime are described. Some results from 7 years of successful operation are presented. A future global lightning monitoring mission, VGLASS, is described.
