SFC compared with GERB CERES-TISA validation exersize Nov 1, 2005
GERB vs CERES regional fluxes • Grid data into 4°x4° regions to mitigate geolocation errors • Terra FM1 xtrck SFC fluxes or Aqua FM4 xtrck SFC fluxes • Map the instantaneous regional differences for Terra and Aqua • ~20 daytime matches for July 2004 • Note changes between version 2 and 999 • Stratify by LW day, LW night, SW • Biases have been area weighted
Version 2 LW day Terra Version 999
Version 2 LW Day Aqua Version 999
Version 2 LW night Terra Version 999
Version 2 LW night Aqua Version 999
Version 2 Version 999 SW-Terra
Version 2 Version 999 SW-Aqua
GERB vs CERES scatter plots • Compute slope and offset from scatter plot of the monthly matched fluxes between GERB and CERES • Note change in slope and offset between Version 2 and 999
GERB vs Terra-SW GERB vs Aqua-SW
GERB vs Terra-LW day GERB vs Aqua-LW day
GERB vs Terra-LW night GERB vs Aqua-LW night
GERB Version 2 vs 999 • Compare Version 2 and Version 999 • Use one image, July 8, 2004 12:45 UTC • Is the change due to • Calibration change - SW filtered radiance • Spectral changes - SW unfiltered radiance • Scene ID and ADM changes - SW flux
