| Abstract | Total outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) flux thermally emitted from the earth-atmosphere system was estimated by applying linear regression equations relating with Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS) Infrared window radiance. These coefficients of regression equations were determined from the results of radiative transfer model simulation on various atmospheric conditions. In this study, OLR radiances were calculated for 140-divided longwave spectral intervals on 140 atmospheric conditions at eight zenith angles. It was found that there was rather high correlation (R = 0.971) between the total OLR flux from radiative transfer calculations and estimated ones from GMS Infrared window radiance, though there contain low correlation spectral regions corresponding to absorption bands (e.g. watervapor, carbon dioxide, ozone). |
