Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer Part II: Water Vapor and Atmospheric Aerosols
Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) spectra provide detailed characterization of the infrared component of the surface radiation budget (Ellingson et al. 1995), support spectroscopic (Clough et al. 1989; Revercomb et al. 1995) and cloud (Smith et al. 1992; Collard et al. 1995) radiative modeling studies for improving radiative transfer calculations, and are the basis for high tim...
متن کاملComparison of Recalibrated Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer Observations with Line-by-Line Radiative Transfer Model Calculations
The comparison of recalibrated spectra from the atmospheric emitted radiance interferometer prototype (AERI-00) and lineby-line radiative transfer model (LBLRTM) calculations show much smaller differences in the 800-1200 cm atmospheric -1 window region under “clear conditions” compared with the preliminary calibrated data. Results indicate that the new AERI-00 data is in good agreement with sim...
متن کاملComparisons of Surface Longwave Radiance Between Line-by-Line Radiative Transfer Model and Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer Observations from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program
Observed surface downward longwave radiances from the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) were compared with line-by-line radiative transfer model (LBLRTM) calculations from April 1994 to November 1996 for “clear-sky conditions” in the 800-1250 atmospheric The observed radiance data used herein were measured by the window region. Results show that the mean AERI-LBLRTM AERI at the...
متن کاملInformation Content and Uncertainties in Thermodynamic Profiles and Liquid Cloud Properties Retrieved from the Ground-Based Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI)
The Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) observes spectrally resolved downwelling radiance emitted by the atmosphere in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Profiles of temperature and water vapor, and cloud liquid water path and effective radius for a single liquid cloud layer, are retrieved using an optimal estimation–based physical retrieval algorithm from AERI...
متن کاملConfronting Models with Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Data: A Statistical Comparison of Southern Great Plains Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer Radiance Spectra and Global Climate Models Output
Forecasts of decadal climate change at subcontinental scales made by global climate models (GCMs) are currently too uncertain to be useful to policy makers. For example, the forecasts of global mean surface temperatures in the current Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions (SRES) A1B scenario show an agreement across 15 models of about ±0.75 K in warming of...
