Measurements and Applications
Long term measurement of the Earth's radiation budget and atmospheric radiation from the top of the atmosphere to the surface; provision of an accurate and self-consistent cloud and radiation database. Presently planned as a follow-on sensor to CERES. All technical parameters are to be determined.
