  2. Comparison between the SW monthly means over two regions Reg#1the whole area (45°S-45°N/60°W-60°E)Reg#2 (35°-10°S/10°W-10°E) with systematic diurnal cycle sharp diurnal errors SW standard deviationMonth: August GERB STM, Exeter, Oct. 2006

  6. Diurnal corrections for CERES-Terra,several approaches • SRBAVG geo products ( about 2 years, 2000/032004/05) • Combination (or average) of Terra and Aqua (ES4, about 4 years, 2002/07 2005/12) • Examination of GERB ARG Ed1 products 5 months: 2006, 04 to 08) GERB STM, Exeter, Oct. 2006

  10. Comparisons between contemporary T-(TA) and nonGeo-Geo / 2003 Agreement at least for these areas and their differences; the variations are higher for SRBAVG

  16. SW Monthly Means Computations with GERB • Average the fluxes (2.5°x2.5°) and fill the 24x31 day-hour table • Use ‘ERBE-type’ code, with Terra flux estimates (ES9- Ed1 - CV ) to compute monthly means • Repeat using the GERB observed diurnal albedo variation shape in place of the ERBE modeled albedo GERB STM, Exeter, Oct. 2006

  20. Summary of Diurnal Errors Wm-2 Caution: Not the same years for each case GERB STM, Exeter, Oct. 2006

  21. We have looked for inter-regional differences in the evolution of the SW reflected flux (Reg1, Reg2) Reg 2 (South East Atlantic): diurnal errors are critical when using ES4-Terra (morning observation) Significant agreement between 3 independent evaluations of the relative diurnal errors (SRBAVG, Aqua, GERB); waiting for overlapping periods This is shown only for the studied regions and for their differences The 1985-2005 SW positive change (relatively to the average Reg1) observed with Terra seems slightly greater than the diurnal error Conclusion GERB STM, Exeter, Oct. 2006

(cross track, 10 km) MADRAS: microwave imager for precipitation : channels at 18, 23, 37, 89 and 157 GHz, H and V polarisations. (conical swath, <10 km to 40 km)
