As one of the major satellite-estimated surface radiation budget (SRB) dataset, the clouds and the Earth's radiant energy system-monthly gridded radiative fluxes and clouds (CERES-FSW) data have been widely used in various applications. Although CERES/ARM validation experiment (CAVE) has performed the validation work of the input data of CERES-FSW, accuracy of the CERES-FSW data itself is still unknown...
A previous algorithm developed to estimate photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from satellite observations is improved and extended to retrieve surface albedo as well. The revised algorithm was validated with GOES-12 data over the North America continent. We used measurements from six SURFRAD and six FLUXNET sites in 2003 to validate the GOES PAR and albedo retrievals. The results show that...
