Satellite estimates of surface radiative fluxes for the extended San Pedro Basin: sensitivity to aerosols
Surface downwelling and upwelling radiative fluxes are important inputs into hydrologic models that evaluate water budgets, and into land surface data assimilation schemes which are driven with radiative fluxes. For large-scale needs, only remote sensing methods can provide such information. The accuracy of the derived fluxes depends on the inference schemes and on the quality of auxiliary inpu...
متن کاملCase 2 Antarctic Coastal Waters: the Bio-optical Properties of Surface Meltwater
In the Antarctic region, melting of sea ice and continental glaciers can create a surface lens of meltwater in coastal waters. When ice melts, particles concentrated within the ice are released into the water and can cause turbidity. Under these conditions, the optical properties of the water column are no longer related primarily to the phytoplankton and associated breakdown products (i.e., Ca...
متن کاملSatellite-based midlatitude cyclone statistics over the Southern Ocean: 2. Tracks and surface fluxes
[1] Midlatitude cyclone tracks over the Southern Ocean are constructed for the 1999–2006 period using two surface data sets: European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) sea-level pressure analyses on one hand, and on the other hand modified analyses in which high-wavenumber pressure variability derived from scatterometer swaths has been injected with a wavelet-based method. A com...
متن کاملEvaluation of satellite and reanalysis‐based global net surface energy flux and uncertainty estimates
The net surface energy flux is central to the climate system yet observational limitations lead to substantial uncertainty. A combination of satellite-derived radiative fluxes at the top of atmosphere adjusted using the latest estimation of the net heat uptake of the Earth system, and the atmospheric energy tendencies and transports from the ERA-Interim reanalysis are used to estimate surface e...
