Atmospheric downward longwave radiation at the surface (Ld) varies with increasing CO2
and other greenhouse gases. This study quantifies the uncertainties of current estimates of …

A surface radiation budget observing network (SURFRAD) has been established for the
United States to support satellite retrieval validation, modeling, and climate, hydrology, and …

A major goal of the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was to
achieve significantly more accurate and complete descriptions of the surface meteorology …

We use global, multiyear observations of the properties of clouds, the atmosphere, and the
surface to calculate global shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) fluxes at the top of the …

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) bidirectional reflectance
distribution function (BRDF)/albedo algorithm uses multiday, multiband MODIS surface …

The rather specialized field of solar and infrared radiation measurements has become
increasingly important due to the increased demands by the renewable energy and climate …

The standardized FAO56 Penman–Monteith model, which has been the most reasonable
method in both humid and arid climatic conditions, provides reference crop …

Aircraft measurements of broad‐band infrared and solar irradiances together with radiance
measurements at discrete angles and wavelengths are used, combined with microphysical …
