Surface Irradiances Consistent With CERES-Derived Top-of-Atmosphere Shortwave and Longwave Irradiances
Seiji Kato,Norman G. Loeb,Fred G. Rose,David R. Doelling,David A. Rutan,Thomas E. Caldwell,Lisan Yu,Robert A. Weller +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a Lagrange multiplier procedure is used to objectively adjust inputs based on their uncertainties such that the computed TOA irradiance is consistent with CERES-derived irradiance to within the uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
CERES Synoptic Product: Methodology and Validation of Surface Radiant Flux
David A. Rutan,Seiji Kato,David R. Doelling,Fred G. Rose,L. Nguyen,Thomas E. Caldwell,Norman G. Loeb +6 more
TL;DR: The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System Synoptic (SYN1deg), edition 3, product provides climate-quality global 3-hourly 1° × 1°gridded top of atmosphere, in-atmosphere, and surface radiant fluxes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiative Heating Rates Computed With Clouds Derived From Satellite-Based Passive and Active Sensors and their Effects on Generation of Available Potential Energy
Seiji Kato,Fred G. Rose,Seung Hee Ham,David A. Rutan,Alexander Radkevich,Thomas E. Caldwell,Sunny Sun-Mack,Walter F. Miller,Yan Chen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the contribution of radiative heating rate to the generation of eddy available potential energy in the tropical tropopause and near the top of the boundary layer between 50°N to 50°S.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncertainty in Satellite-Derived Surface Irradiances and Challenges in Producing Surface Radiation Budget Climate Data Record
Seiji Kato,David A. Rutan,Fred G. Rose,Thomas E. Caldwell,Seung-Hee Ham,Alexander Radkevich,Tyler J. Thorsen,Antonio Viudez-Mora,David Fillmore,Xianglei Huang +9 more
TL;DR: The Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Energy Balanced and Filled (EBAF) Edition 4.1 data product provides global surface irradiances and the effect of a discontinuity introduced by using multiple geostationary satellites in deriving cloud properties is likely to be excluded from these trend and decadal change uncertainty estimates.
