The top-of-the-atmosphere net radiation is determined over the Ducke Reserve Forest site, Manaus, Brazil (2[degrees]57 S, 59[degrees]57 W), from GOES-7 visible and infrared data during the 1987 wet season (April--May), for 0900 and 1500 LST. It is shown that a very good correlation exists between the top-of-the-atmosphere net radiation and the net radiation measured at the surface 12 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
