Optimization of radiometric channel solar calibration for the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) using the Monte-Carlo method
Recent satellite measurements have found the range of solar radiation flux at the mean Earth-Sun distance to be from 1365 to 1372 W/m², or 1368 W/m² to within ±0.5 percent. This regularity is considered sufficient to permit the use of solar radiation as a source of energy for inflight calibration of...
