Parameter toa_longwave_cloud_radiative_effect
Properties
Name | toa_longwave_cloud_radiative_effect |
---|---|
Description | "toa" means top of atmosphere. "Longwave" means longwave radiation. Cloud radiative effect is also commonly known as "cloud radiative forcing". It is the difference in radiative flux resulting from the presence of clouds, i.e. it is the difference between toa_outgoing_longwave_flux_assuming_clear_sky and toa_outgoing_longwave_flux. |
