Abstract

A method has been developed to derive regional Earth radiation budget products with high spatial and temporal resolution by synergy of the well calibrated scanner for radiation budget (ScaRaB) data with auxiliary data from the operational meteorological satellites. The topic of a narrow-to-broadband conversion from NOAA 11 AVHRR channel 1 to the broadband shortwave channel of ScaRaB will be addressed. This value-added Earth radiation budget product is then very usable for the validation of the regional scale model REMO which is in use at GKSS for modelling the energy and water exchange for the BALTEX area. Comparisons of outgoing longwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere with the REMO model are presented
