摘要: Abstract Nimbus-7 cloud and earth radiation budget data are compared in a study of the effects clouds on tropical budget. The consist daily averages over fixed (500 km)2 target areas, months July 1979 January 1980 were chosen to show effect seasonal changes. Six climate regions, consisting 14 24 areas each, picked for intensive analysis because they exemplify range cloud/net interactions. normal was consider net as independent variable examine how cover, type, albedo emitted vary with radiation. Two recurring themes keep repeating local, regional, zonal basis: is strongly influenced by average type amount present, but most values could be produced several combinations types amount. regions highest (greater than 125 W m−2) tend have medium heavy clou...
