CERES Edition-2 Cloud Property Retrievals Using TRMM VIRS and Terra and Aqua MODIS Data—Part I: Algorithms (2011, methodology): “The CERES radiation measurements and their inversion, as well as the methods for identifying cloudy pixels and retrieving aerosol properties in clear pixels, have been described elsewhere [4]– [8].”
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Terra Satellite. Part II: Validation (2005, methodology): “Where appropriate, we compare the methodology used to produce CERES Terra ADMs with that used in Loeb et al. (2003a) to produce CERES TRMM ADMs.”
Advances in Understanding Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Variability from Satellite Observations (2012, methodology): “Since the TOT channel radiance is comprised of both SW and LW contributions during daytime, unfiltered LW radiance is determined from TOT and SW filtered radiance measurements (Loeb et al. 2001).”
Toward Optimal Closure of the Earth's Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Budget (2009, methodology): “Levitus et al. 2001), the global net radiation at the TOA should be in phase with and of similar magnitude as the global ocean heat storage. Wong et al. (2006) showed that this is indeed the case by comparing TOA net flux anomalies from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) and ocean heat con”
The Observed State of the Energy Budget in the Early Twenty-First Century (2015, background): “Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments aboard the Tropical RainfallMeasuringMission (TRMM), Terra, and Aqua satellites, for example, have provided improved observations of the exchange of longwave and shortwave radiation at the TOA (Wielicki et al. 1996; Loeb et al. 2001).”
