RECAP: unfiltering New spectral response function New spectral conversion: V002 = unfilter factor where: • = wavelength (m) I= reflected solar radiance (Wm-2.Sr-1.m-1) S=spectral response function (0 S 1) LSEVIRI = a + b1L0.6 + b2L0.8 + b3 L1.6 + c11L20.6 + c21 L0.8L0.6 + c22 L20.8 + c31 L1.6L 0.6 + c32 L1.6 L 0.8 + c33 L21.6 !!!! fct of SZA ONLY !!!!

RECAP: resolution enhancement (I) Up-sampling of the filtered GERB radiances from the nominal GERB footprint resolution (i, j) to the 3 x 3 SEVIRI pixels resolution (x, y). BUT: rather than LfGERB we use CF = LfGERB/LfSEVIRI FIRST: Fluxes at the GERB footprint resolution (i, j) are derived from the 3 x 3 SEVIRI pixels (x, y) based flux estimates FGERB(i, j) = (xy PSF(i, j, x, y) . FS3(x, y)). CFL(i, j) CFL(i, j) = correction of SEVIRI by GERB SECOND: improvement of the spatial resolution of GERB fluxes by use of SEVIRI high resolution information FGERB(i, j) = xy PSF(i, j, x, y) . CFH(x, y) . FS3(x, y)
RECAP: resolution enhancement (II) FINALLY: GERB flux at the 3 x 3 SEVIRI pixels resolution is given by FG3(x, y) = CFH(x, y) . FS3(x, y) To reduce the impact of the SEVIRI spectral conversion in the estimation of the GERB SW fluxes at the 3x3 SEVIRI pixels resolution: use of LfADM(x,y) rather than LfSEVIRI(x,y) in the CFL(i,j) computation. Limitation: while SBDART is a function of the 3 acquisition angles (sza, vza, and raa) it is still dependent of the assumed GERB spectral response function

Resolution enhancement limitations: GERB and SEVIRI images recorded at times temporal matching needed Scene types independent 100% clear GERB pixel 3x3 SEVIRI pixels footprint 100% cloudy Clear ocean S3 footprint for which the CFH(x,y) will be cloud contaminated
Conclusions • Problems over clear land surfaces which were not found in the V002 version • Asymmetry problem in the diurnal evolution of the SW fluxes over clear ocean surface still present. • mainly due to deficiencies in the SEVIRI spectral modeling • but also possible impact of the - GERB spectral response function through its influence on the estimated LfSEVIRI and thus on the CFs - resolution enhancement reduced clear ocean pixels at the GERB nominal spatial resolution ( temporal matching between GERB and SEVIRI)
