The estimation of surface longwave radiation is central to understanding the Earth’s energy budget, climate dynamics and numerous surface processes. Modern research has substantially advanced ...

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and water vapor (H 2 O) exert their strongest warming effects (orange arrows) by absorbing longwave infrared radiation (darker orange ...

Diagram depicting the two main processes for quasi-linear surface temperature and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR). Left: enhancement of meridional surface temperature gradient by the greenhouse ...

The team found that ash-rich volcanic eruptions caused clouds to host fewer, but larger ice crystals. "At the beginning of the study, we did expect clouds affected by volcanic eruptions to look ...

The algorithms used by NOAA in obtaining a longwave radiation data set are provided. Journal Information The Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) is the flagship magazine of AMS and ...
