Abstract

The retrieval of the vertical profiles of radiative fluxes with CERES Terra data CRS Edition 2A is described. The CERES surface and atmospheric radiation budget (SARB) product on Terra spacecraft is designed for the studies of the energy balance within the atmosphereas require fields of clouds, humidity, and aerosol that are consistent with radiative fluxes from the surface to the Top of the Atmosphere (TOA). For clear footprint during daytime, the broadband surface albedo is explicitly retrieved using TOA observations and iterations of the Langley Fu-Liou code with the constrainment algorithm. Each footprint for the effect of aerosols on W fluxes, LW fluxes and 8.0-12.0 μ window fluxes at all levels.
