Next-generation angular distribution models for top-of-atmosphere radiative flux calculation from CERES instruments: validation (2015, background): “Subsequent validation indicated that the TOA flux uncertainty depends on the MODIS AOD and fine-mode fraction (Loeb et al., 2007).”

Solar radiation budget and radiative forcing due to aerosols and clouds (2008, methodology): “The products are retrieved by using the recently developed Angular Distribution Models (ADMs) as a function of viewing angle, sun angle, and scene type [Loeb et al., 2003a, 2003b, Loeb et al., 2005].”
Surface Irradiances Consistent With CERES-Derived Top-of-Atmosphere Shortwave and Longwave Irradiances (2013, background): “Unlike TOA irradiances that can be estimated from broadband radiance observations (Loeb et al. 2005), a global estimate of the irradiance at the surface is only possible through radiative transfer calculations.”
Large contribution of supercooled liquid clouds to the solar radiation budget of the Southern Ocean (2016, methodology): “Fluxes are then obtained by applying an empirical angular distribution model (Loeb et al. 2005).”
A simple model for the cloud adjacency effect and the apparent bluing of aerosols near clouds (2008, methodology): “A simpler approach would be to ignore the wavelength dependence in the anisotropy as given by the CERES Angular Distribution Models (ADMs) [ Loeb et al., 2005 ] and use the ADMs to determine spectral fluxes from the MODIS radiances.”
Advances in Understanding Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Variability from Satellite Observations (2012, methodology): “TOA fluxes are provided for clear and all-sky conditions in the longwave (LW), shortwave (SW), and window (WN) regions (Loeb et al. 2005).”
Relationships among cloud occurrence frequency, overlap, and effective thickness derived from CALIPSO and CloudSat merged cloud vertical profiles (2010, unknown): “Clouds and the Earth ’ s Radiant Energy System (CERES) data products show that TOA irradiances derived from CERES instrument radiance measurements is accurate when they are sorted by cloud type [ Loeb et al. , 2005, 2007a] and averaged over a month or longer period.”

Combining satellite data and models to estimate cloud radiative effect at the surface and in the atmosphere (2011, methodology): “A further method is to combine simulations of clearsky radiation with satellite measurements.”
