Defining Top-of-the-Atmosphere Flux Reference Level for Earth Radiation Budget Studies
To estimate the earth's radiation budget at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) from satellite-measured radiances, it is necessary to account for the finite geometry of the earth and recognize that the earth is a solid body surrounded by a translucent atmosphere of finite thickness that attenuates...
