1 GERB SW fluxes: an update (Clear ocean SW radiances and fluxes in the reprocessed V999 June 04 data) Cédric Bertrand GIST 24 14-16 th December, Imperial College, London, U.K.

2 RECAP: unfiltering New spectral response function New spectral conversion: where: = wavelength (  m) I = reflected solar radiance (Wm -2.Sr -1.  m -1 ) S =spectral response function (0  S  1) L SEVIRI = a + b 1 L 0.6 + b 2 L 0.8 + b 3 L 1.6 + c 11 L 2 0.6 + c 21 L 0.8 L 0.6 + c 22 L 2 0.8 + !!!! fct of SZA ONLY !!!! c 31 L 1.6 L 0.6 + c 32 L 1.6 L 0.8 + c 33 L 2 1.6 !!!! fct of SZA ONLY !!!!  = unfilter factor V002

3 RECAP: unfiltering Database of co-angular CERES and SEVIRI measurements (March, April and July 04 FM2/FM3 ES8 Edition 2 CERES data) L SEVIRI UF (L CERES UF = a + b L 0.6 + c L 0.8 + d L 1.6 + e SZA sza  60°) with a, b, c, d and e surface types dependent L SEVIRI F CAN NOT BE DETERMINED FROM CERES DATA General case: L SEVIRI F = a’ + b’ L 0.6 + c’ L 0.8 + d’ L 1.6 + e’ SZA ( a", b" and c" = f(SZA,VZA,RAA) ) V999: Clear Ocean: L SEVIRI F = L SEVIRI UF /  SBDART

7 RECAP: resolution enhancement (I) Up-sampling of the filtered GERB radiances from the nominal GERB footprint resolution (i, j) to the 3 x 3 SEVIRI pixels resolution (x, y). BUT: rather than L f GERB we use CF = L f GERB /L f SEVIRI FIRST: FIRST: Fluxes at the GERB footprint resolution (i, j) are derived from the 3 x 3 SEVIRI pixels (x, y) based flux estimates F GERB (i, j) = (  x  y PSF(i, j, x, y). F S3 (x, y) ). CF L (i, j)  CF L (i, j) = correction of SEVIRI by GERB SECOND: SECOND: improvement of the spatial resolution of GERB fluxes by use of SEVIRI high resolution information F GERB (i, j) =  x  y PSF(i, j, x, y). CF H (x, y). F S3 (x, y)

8 RECAP: resolution enhancement (II) FINALLY: FINALLY: GERB flux at the 3 x 3 SEVIRI pixels resolution is given by F G3 (x, y) = CF H (x, y). F S3 (x, y) use of L f ADM (x,y) rather than L f SEVIRI (x,y) in the CF L (i,j) computation. To reduce the impact of the SEVIRI spectral conversion in the estimation of the GERB SW fluxes at the 3x3 SEVIRI pixels resolution: Limitation: while  SBDART is a function of the 3 acquisition angles (sza, vza, and raa) it is still dependent of the assumed GERB spectral response function

19 GERB and SEVIRI images recorded at  times  temporal matching needed Scene types independent Resolution enhancement limitations: GERB pixel 3x3 SEVIRI pixels footprint 100% clear 100% cloudy Clear ocean S3 footprint for which the CF H (x,y) will be cloud contaminated

20 Conclusions Problems over clear land surfaces which were not found in the V002 version Asymmetry problem in the diurnal evolution of the SW fluxes over clear ocean surface still present.  mainly due to deficiencies in the SEVIRI spectral modeling  but also possible impact of the - GERB spectral response function through its influence on the estimated L f SEVIRI and thus on the CFs - resolution enhancement  reduced clear ocean pixels at the GERB nominal spatial resolution (  temporal matching between GERB and SEVIRI)
