[1] Many studies have used satellite retrievals to investigate the effect of aerosols on cloud properties, but these retrievals are subject to artifacts that can confound interpretation.… Expand
Earth’s Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Budget
- N. Loeb, W. Su, +4 authors W. F. Miller
- Geography
- 2018
The top-of-atmosphere (TOA) Earth radiation budget (ERB) is a key property of the climate system that describes the balance between how much solar energy the Earth absorbs and how much terrestrial… Expand
Global all‐sky shortwave direct radiative forcing of anthropogenic aerosols from combined satellite observations and GOCART simulations
- W. Su, N. Loeb, G. Schuster, M. Chin, F. Rose
- Environmental Science, Geology
- 16 January 2013
[1] Estimation of aerosol direct radiative forcing (DRF) from satellite measurements is challenging because current satellite sensors do not have the capability of discriminating between… Expand
