Estimation of Radiation budget using Geostationary Satellites Formation of a virtual laboratory for diagnosing the Earth's climate system

[ABSTRACT]In this study, we develop a vicarious calibration technique and estimation algorithm of radiation budget for the global analysis. The vicarious calibration technique using three components ( clear sky sea surface, clear sky land surface, uniform cloud top) is applied to the geostationary satellites. This vicarious calibration technique is based on radiative transfer calculations and it has each optical properties (aerosol, cloud, surface BRDF/albedo) in three compon_~ntsT. he quality of three geostationary satellites (GMS-5, GOES-10, GOES-8) visible channel fixed accurately for global analysis. An accurate calibrated data set propose the better accuracy for analysis of cloud and radiation budget. Thus, cloud and radiation budget analysis algorithm are applied to new calibrated data set for global analysis. This is first result of trial for global analysis.
