Surface radiative flux at high spatial and temporal resolution over the
Amazon Basin during the LBA Experiment, will be produced as a collaborative
effort with INPE and INPE/CPTEC. Work is in progress at each respective institution, to derive
such flux and discussions are in progress to improve existing
methodologies.
A daily mean
field of surface shortwave flux (W/m*2) for 05/19/2000, as produced at INPE/CPTEC
and gridded to 0.05 degrees, is illustrated in Figure
4.
An
instantaneous field of surface shortwave flux (W/m*2) for 05/19/2000, 17 GMT,
as produced at the University of Maryland, using satellite observations as
provided by INPE/CPTEC and gridded to 0.05 degree resolution, is illustrated in
Figure 5.
To produce the
radiative flux in Figure 5, a modified version of the Clouds for AVHRR (CLAVR)
cloud screening algorithm has been applied.
