The Spectral Dimension of Shortwave and Longwave Radiation in the Earth System

Session ID#: 159978

Session Description:
Radiative energy traveling into, out of, and within the Earth’s atmosphere is inherently spectral, containing vast information representing properties and processes controlling variability in the Earth radiation budget and therefore climate. The spectral dimension has typically been under-observed and under-utilized, but a new era of spectral and hyperspectral shortwave and longwave satellite missions is now on the horizon (e.g., CLARREO Pathfinder, TRUTHS, AOS, PREFIRE, TICFIRE, FORUM), accompanied by a surge of related activity in the Earth science community. This session seeks contributions that use spectral surface, sub-orbital, or satellite observations, modeling, or analysis of shortwave or longwave radiation for monitoring and understanding the Earth system. The session is agnostic to the spatial and temporal scales of analysis, and studies focusing on top-of-atmosphere and surface radiation budgets, or retrievals of cloud, aerosol, gas, and surface properties are all welcome and encouraged.
