Abstract
Two components of SRB, solar radiation reflected to space and solar radiation reaching the surface, are retrieved from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). Physical algorithms are used that combine forward and inverse methods to estimate reflection and transmission and account for all major interactions of the radiation with the atmosphere and the surface. Owing to the improved upstream ABI cloud and aerosol product inputs, and because of availability of calibrated solar reflective bands on ABI, the two products represent an improvement in quality over legacy radiation products. Preliminary evaluation of the two products with reference data indicates that they meet expectations.
