Global surface albedo from CERES/Terra surface and atmospheric radiation budget (SARB) data product

Within the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) science team (Wielicki et al. 1996), the Surface and Atmospheric Radiation Budget (SARB) group is tasked with calculating vertical profiles of heating rates, globally, and continuously, beneath CERES footprint observations of Top of Atmosphere (TOA) fluxes. This is accomplished using a fast radiative transfer code originally developed by Qiang Fu and Kuo-Nan Liou (Fu and Liou, 1993) and subsequently highly modified by the SARB team. Details on the code and its inputs can be found in Kato et al. (2005) and Rose and Charlock (2002). The radiative transfer (SARB) subsystem currently has archived flux profiles at footprint (~20km) and grid box spatial scale. This paper details the release of albedo maps based on 1-degree gridded broadband surface shortwave flux calculations.
