A parametric study of the radiative and optical characteristics of a scanning radiometer for Earth Radiation Budget applications using the Monte-Carlo method

The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) and the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) are systems that measure the earth's radiation budget, or the difference between earth-emitted radiation and radiation absorbed from the sun. Both these systems use three scanning radiomet...
