Modeling Errors in Diffuse-Sky Radiation
Most current methods for calculating radiative transfer treat radiance errors to the point where no one has seriously light as a scalar quantity, even though it is well known that a worried about the adequacy of the scalar approximation in proper description of light requires explicit recognition of its radiative transfer modeling. Moreover, the nature of radiative electromagnetic nature. Accor...
متن کاملQuantification of the source of errors in AM2 simulated tropical clear-sky outgoing longwave radiation
[1] The global and tropical means of clear-sky outgoing longwave radiation (hereinafter OLRc) simulated by the new GFDL atmospheric general circulation model, AM2, tend to be systematically lower than ERBE observations by about 4 W m , even though the AM2 total-sky radiation budget is tuned to be consistent with these observations. Here we quantify the source of errors in AM2-simulated OLRc ove...
متن کاملConfusion of Diffuse Objects in the X-ray Sky
Most of the baryons in the present-day universe are thought to reside in intergalactic space at temperatures of 10 K. X-ray emission from these baryons contributes a modest (∼10%) fraction of the ∼ 1 keV background whose prominence within the large-scale cosmic web depends on the amount of nongravitational energy injected into intergalactic space by supernovae and AGNs. Here we show that the vi...
متن کاملCorrecting for Circumsolar and Near-Horizon Errors in Sky Cover Retrievals from Sky Images
Fractional sky cover amounts retrieved from sky imagery are overestimated significantly at times due to occurrences of “whitening” near the sun, and near the horizon for low sun, in the images. This phenomenon occurs due to forward scattering of visible light by aerosols and haze, and the intensity range limitations of the detectors of the cameras used to record the sky images. Our results sugg...
متن کاملAccounting for Circumsolar and Horizon Cloud Determination Errors in Sky Image Inferral of Sky Cover
In observing the cloudless sky, one can often notice that the area near the sun is whiter and brighter than the rest of the hemisphere. Additionally, even a slight haze will make a large angular area of the horizon whiter and brighter when the sun is low on the horizon. The human eye has an amazing ability to handle a range of light intensity spanning orders of magnitude. But one of the persist...
