Journal ArticleDOI
Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES): An Earth Observing System Experiment
Bruce A. Wielicki,Bruce R. Barkstrom,Edwin F. Harrison,Robert Benjamin Lee,G. Louis Smith,John E. Cooper +5 more
TL;DR: The CERES broadband scanning radiometers are an improved version of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) radiometers as mentioned in this paper, which is an investigation to examine the role of cloud/radiation feedback in the Earth's climate system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Optimal Closure of the Earth's Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Budget
Norman G. Loeb,Bruce A. Wielicki,David R. Doelling,G. Louis Smith,Dennis F. Keyes,Seiji Kato,Natividad Manalo-Smith,Takmeng Wong +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a detailed error analysis of TOA fluxes based on the latest generation of Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) gridded monthly mean data products [the monthly TOA/surface averages geostationary (SRBAVG-GEO)] and used an objective constrainment algorithm to adjust reflected solar (SW) and emitted thermal (LW) top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiative fluxes within their range of uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment: Science and implementation
TL;DR: The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) as discussed by the authors consists of scanning and nonscanning radiometer packages on three spacecraft, one is a satellite with a 57 deg inclination orbit which precesses around the earth once every 2 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reexamination of the Observed Decadal Variability of the Earth Radiation Budget Using Altitude-Corrected ERBE/ERBS Nonscanner WFOV Data
Takmeng Wong,Bruce A. Wielicki,Robert Benjamin Lee,G. Louis Smith,Kathryn A. Bush,Joshua K. Willis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an update on the observed decadal variability of Earth Radiation Budget using the latest altitude-corrected Earth radiation budget Experiment (ERBE)/Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) Nonscanner Wide Field of View (WFOV) instrument Edition3 dataset was given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inversion methods for satellite studies of the Earth's Radiation Budget: Development of algorithms for the ERBE Mission
G. Louis Smith,Richard N. Green,Ehrhard Raschke,Lee M. Avis,John T. Suttles,Bruce A. Wielicki,Roger Davies +6 more
TL;DR: The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) as discussed by the authors carries a three-channel scanning radiometer and a set of nadir-looking wide and medium field-of-view instruments for measuring the radiation emitted from earth and the solar radiation reflected from earth.
