CERES Edition-2 Cloud Property Retrievals Using TRMM VIRS and Terra and Aqua MODIS Data—Part I: Algorithms
Patrick Minnis,S. Sun-Mack,David F. Young,Patrick W. Heck,Donald P. Garber,Yan Chen,Douglas A. Spangenberg,Robert F. Arduini,Qing Z. Trepte,William L. Smith,J. K. Ayers,Sharon Gibson,Walter F. Miller,Gang Hong,Venkatesan Chakrapani,Y. Takano,Kuo-Nan Liou,Yu Xie,Ping Yang +18 more
TL;DR: This paper documents the CERES Edition-2 cloud property retrieval system used to analyze data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Visible and Infrared Scanner and by the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectrometer instruments on board the Terra and Aqua satellites covering the period 1998 through 2007.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geostationary Enhanced Temporal Interpolation for CERES Flux Products
David R. Doelling,Norman G. Loeb,Dennis F. Keyes,Michele L. Nordeen,D. Morstad,Cathy Nguyen,Bruce A. Wielicki,David F. Young,Moguo Sun +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the CERES-only (CO) and the CerES geostationary (CG) temporal interpolation methods were used to estimate the daily averaged flux between Terra and Aqua overpass times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite. Part II; Validation
Norman G. Loeb,Konstantin Loukachine,Natividad Manalo-Smith,Bruce A. Wielicki,David F. Young +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the accuracy of CERES TOA fluxes obtained from a new set of empirical angular distribution models (ADMs) developed for the Cloud and Earth s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Bruce A. Wielicki,Bruce R. Barkstrom,Bryan A. Baum,Thomas P. Charlock,Richard N. Green,David P. Kratz,Robert Benjamin Lee,Patrick Minnis,G. L. Smith,Takmeng Wong,David F. Young,Robert D. Cess,James A. Coakley,D. Crommelynck,Leo J. Donner,R. Kandel,Michael D. King,Alvin J. Miller,Veerabhadran Ramanathan,David A. Randall,Larry L. Stowe,Ronald M. Welch +21 more
TL;DR: These algorithms are a prototype for the system that will produce the scientific data required for studying the role of clouds and radiation in the Earth's climate system, and are fundamental to the ability to understand, detect, and predict global climate change.
