The Fast Longwave and Shortwave Flux (FLASHFlux) Data Product: Single-Scanner Footprint Fluxes

Multiscale Resolution of Shortwave-Longwave Interaction

In the study of time-dependent waves, it is computationally expensive to solve a problem in which high frequencies (shortwaves, with wavenumber k = kmax) and low frequencies (longwaves, near k = kmin) mix. Consider a problem in which low frequencies scatter off a sharp impurity. The impurity generates high frequencies which propagate and spread throughout the computational domain, while the dom...

Net Shortwave Fluxes over the Ocean

Net surface shortwave fluxes (Qsw) computed from National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Langley satellite data are compared with Qsw from reanalyses of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ERA) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The mean and variability of Qsw is examined for the period 1983–91, with a focus on the tropical and summer hemisph...

The Status of Quality Measurement Experiments in the Microwave, Longwave, and Shortwave

Spectral analyses from the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer/Line-by-Line Radiative Transfer Model (AERI/LBLRTM) Quality Measurement Experiment (QME) have proven critical in the assessment of clear sky radiative transfer modeling capability for general circulation models (GCMs). The QME provides a mechanism for the assessment of the three critical components of the longwave spectral v...
