Modeled and observed longwave radiances at the top of the atmosphere

One method of estimating the longwave radiative heating of the atmosphere is to combine satellite observations of emitted radiances with those computed from synoptic temperature and humidity profiles. Modeled and observed radiances are brought into agreement by altering cloud properties or even by a...
