New initiatives



  • Expansion of the 0.5-degree product to five years
  • Improvement of the radiative inference schemes to the Amazon conditions:
    • incorporate better information on aerosols, in particular, during the burning season
    • produce high resolution surface radiative fluxes for periods of interest to LBA research. Available sources of satellite data:
      • high resolution satellite data (4 km) from CPTEC 
      • high resolution data from the New Hampshire ESIP
    •  implement the radiative inference scheme with improved land surface models and improved aerosol climatologies.
