Selected Results on Satellite Inferred 

Radiative Fluxes     


Large scale surface radiative fluxes were derived at the University of Maryland, College Park from ISCCP DX data at 0.5 degree resolution at 3 hourly time intervals.  Satellite observations as obtained from the International Cloud Climatologic Project (ISCCP) DX data (Schiffer and Rossow, 1985 Rossow and Schiffer, 1999 ) were used.  Selected results on monthly mean values of the shortwave radiative fluxes for the period of 1990 - 1992 are shown in the following galleries:

The data presented in the Galleries cover the entire CATCH area.
