Conference on Atmospheric Radiation, 6th, Williamsburg, VA, May 13-16, 1986, Extended Abstracts
Numerous topics of interest for measurements and modeling of radiation in the atmosphere are discussed, with emphasis on satellite remote sensing capabilities, data analysis techniques and climatological impact. Attention is devoted to aerosols at all levels of the atmosphere, the current understanding of potential nuclear winter scenarios, and to instruments which are used for sensing radiance in the atmosphere. Consideration is also given to spectroscopy and band models, radiative transfer calculations, earth radiation budget (ERB) models and their interaction with GCMs, and to climate models. In-depth analyses are performed of data from the ERB instruments on the Nimbus-7 spacecraft and to validation procedures being developed for data collected by the ERB satellite.
