Using daily Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model simulations and columnar retrievals of 0.55 μm aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and fine mode fraction (FMF) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), we estimate the satellite-derived aerosol properties over the global oceans between June 2006 and May 2007 due to black carbon (BC), organic carbon ...

Reanalysis datasets from atmospheric models and satellite products are often used for Arctic surface shortwave (SW) longwave (LW) radiative budget analyses, but they suffer limitations require validation against local-scale observations. These rare in the high Arctic, especially longer periods that include seasonal transitions. In this study, radiation meteorological observations acquired durin...

Abstract Satellite, reanalysis, and ocean in situ data are analyzed to evaluate regional, hemispheric global mean trends Earth's energy fluxes during the first 20 years of twenty‐first century. Regional net top‐of‐atmosphere (TOA) radiation from Clouds Radiant Energy System (CERES), ECMWF Reanalysis 5 (ERA5), a model similar ERA5 with prescribed sea surface temperature (SST) ice differ markedly...

A unique parameterization of secondary (thermal) dilepton and photon yields in heavy-ion experiments at CERN-SPS is proposed. Adding those thermal yields to background contributions the spectral shapes of the CERES/NA45, NA38, NA50, HELIOS/3 and WA98 data from experiments with lead and sulfur beams can be well described.

Computer models may be useful tools to design management practices for green manures, to maximize N uptake by the following crop while minimizing N losses to leaching. A previous paper tested CERES models predictions of soil processes in the absence of a crop, but did not consider effects of the crop, such as water and N uptake or shading of the soil surface. In this paper, we evaluated the abi...

[1] We first present an algorithm for deriving cloudy sky outgoing spectral flux through the entire longwave spectrum from the collocated Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and Cloud and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) measurements over the tropical oceans. The algorithm is similar to the one described in part 1 of this series of studies: spectral angular dependent models are develop...

We present our Optical Music Recognition (OMR) system, Ceres, which embeds human intelligence into machine recognition. Different from previous OMR systems, which took human corrections as an extra post-processing step, our systems accepts user-supplied information during the recognition process. Due to the big challenge of OMR, all the existing systems suffer from different levels of errors. T...
