Abstract

The diurnal variation of the Earth Radiation Budget and its components require for sparsely temporal sampling a high amount of modeling for the derivation of precise daily averages. In the present study the time integration errors of the regional monthly averages of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (Barkstrom, 1984) are estimated for April 1985. For this error assessment we made use of data of the European geostationary satellite Meteosat 2 which narrowbanded measurements have been converted to reasonable estimates of broad-band radiation fluxes. Based on this data set the measurements of the ERBE satellites, ERBS, NOAA 9, and NOAA 10 are simulated. For the time integration the ERBE time integration models are used.
