A 16-year dataset (2000–2015) of high-resolution (3 h, 10 km) global surface solar radiation
TL;DR: Tang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a global surface solar radiation (SSR) dataset using an improved physical parameterization scheme, which includes water vapor, surface pressure and ozone from ERA5 reanalysis data and albedo and aerosol from MODIS.
A New Benchmark for Surface Radiation Products over the East Asia–Pacific Region Retrieved from the Himawari-8/AHI Next-Generation Geostationary Satellite
TL;DR: Considering the lack of reliable surface downward radiation (SDR) data with a high spatiotemporal resolution in the East Asia-Pacific (EAP) region, this article derived SWDR and LWDR at 10min and 0.05° resolutions for this region from 2016 to 2020 based on the next-generation geostationary satellite Himawari-8 (H-8 ).

A New Set of MODIS Land Products (MCD18): Downward Shortwave Radiation and Photosynthetically Active Radiation
TL;DR: A new global high-resolution product of DSR and PAR over land surfaces using the MODIS data is introduced and the accuracy of the new MODIS daily DSR data is higher than the GLASS product and lower than the CERES product, while the latter incorporates additional geostationary data with better capturing DSR diurnal variability.

Second‐generation operational algorithm: Retrieval of aerosol properties over land from inversion of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer spectral reflectance
TL;DR: In this paper, a second-generation operational algorithm performs a simultaneous inversion of two visible (0.47 and 0.66 μm) and one shortwave-IR (2.12 μm), making use of the coarse aerosol information content contained in the 2.12 µm channel.

Global evaluation of the Collection 5 MODIS dark-target aerosol products over land
Robert C. Levy,Lorraine A. Remer,Richard G. Kleidman,Shana Mattoo,Charles Ichoku,Ralph A. Kahn,Thomas F. Eck +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors validate the MODIS along-orbit Level 2 products by comparing to quality assured Level 2 AERONET sunphotometer measurements at over 300 sites, and find that >66% (one standard deviation) of MODIS-retrieved aerosol optical depth (AOD) values compare to AERO-observed values within an expected error (EE) envelope of ±(0.05 + 15%), with high correlation (R = 0.9).
Calculation of radiative fluxes from the surface to top of atmosphere based on ISCCP and other global data sets: Refinements of the radiative transfer model and the input data
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors used a more advanced NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) radiative transfer model and improved ISCCP cloud climatology and ancillary data sets.

N. C. Hsu,Myeong-Jae Jeong,Corey Bettenhausen,Andrew M. Sayer,Andrew M. Sayer,R. Hansell,C. S. Seftor,Jin Huang,Si-Chee Tsay +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid approach was proposed to estimate surface reflectance for aerosol retrieval using the combination of a pre-calculated surface database and a normalized difference vegetation index.
An update on Earth's energy balance in light of the latest global observations
Graeme L. Stephens,Jui-Lin Li,Martin Wild,Carol Anne Clayson,Norman G. Loeb,Seiji Kato,Tristan L'Ecuyer,Paul W. Stackhouse,Matthew Lebsock,Timothy Andrews +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of the latest observations suggests that more longwave radiation is received at the Earth's surface than previously thought, and that more precipitation is generated, and the additional precipitation is sustained by more energy leaving the surface by evaporation, that is, in the form of latent heat flux.
