Validation and Spatiotemporal Analysis of CERES Surface Net Radiation Product

Validation and Spatiotemporal Analysis of CERES Surface Net Radiation Product

The Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) generates one of the few global satellite radiation products. The CERES ARM Validation Experiment (CAVE) has been providing long-term in situ observations for the validation of the CERES products. However, the number of these sites is low and their distribution is globally sparse, and particularly the surface net radiation product has not...

long term spatiotemporal changes of net radiation flux over iran

1. introduction the process by which the net radiation is transformed to the atmospheric dynamical energy, occur to a large degree at the interface between the surface and the atmosphere. as the driving force for such process, an accurate estimation of the net radiation at the earth’s surface is a necessary input for surface process models. net radiation is a key component in the surface radiat...

Comparative Assessment of Satellite-Retrieved Surface Net Radiation: An Examination on CERES and SRB Datasets in China

Surface net radiation plays an important role in land–atmosphere interactions. The net radiation can be retrieved from satellite radiative products, yet its accuracy needs comprehensive assessment. This study evaluates monthly surface net radiation generated from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) and the Surface Radiation Budget project (SRB) products, respectively, with ...

GLASS Daytime All-Wave Net Radiation Product: Algorithm Development and Preliminary Validation

Mapping surface all-wave net radiation (Rn) is critically needed for various applications. Several existing Rn products from numerical models and satellite observations have coarse spatial resolutions and their accuracies may not meet the requirements of land applications. In this study, we develop the Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) daytime Rn product at a 5 km spatial resolution. Its al...
