  1. Radiation Products Applications Isabel F. Trigo

  2. Radiation Products • MSG-based Radiation Products • Albedo Variability • Signatures in LST fields • LST & Vegetation • LST as a model diagnostic tool • Surface Radiation Budget • Long-wave • Short-wave

  3. Radiation Products The LSA SAF generates, archives and distributes • Albedo - AL • Land Surface Temperature (and emissivity) – LST ( & EM) • Down-welling Short-wave Fluxes at the Surface - DSSF • Down-welling Long-wave Fluxes at the Surface - DSLF

  4. Radiation Products • 4 production areas for MSG - Europe - Northern Africa - Southern Africa • Southern America • Geostationary Projection • 3 km at sub-satellite point 1701 cols x 651 lines 2211 cols x 1151 lines 701 cols x 1511 lines 1211 cols x 1191 lines

  6. Radiation Products • See Product User Manuals • And also • Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document • Validation Report • Product Output Format Peer Reviewed Publications

  7. Snow Radiation Products - Albedo Albedo Seasonal Cycle: Snow Primarily driven by Vegetation & Snow High Albedo Values over Deserts LowAlbedo Values Vegetated Areas

  17. Radiation Products - LST Heat Waves Mapping the Heat-Wave in Europe JUL 2007 LST Composite 19-23 July 2007 12 UTC Eastern and South-Eastern Europe

  18. Radiation Products - LST X 2009 X 2010 X 2011 • Daily Amplitudes of LST are generally anti-correlated with Fraction of Vegetation • Vegetation controls temperature via Evapotranspiration

  19. Radiation Products – LST & Land Sfc Models Boussetta et al., 2011 Constant LAI LAI MODIS climate January July

  20. Bias of control Exp: Model Skin Temp – LSA SAF LST Tsk_CTL – LST 12 UTC 00 UTC • Good agreement of night-time temperatures; • Underestimation of daily amplitudes, particularly in semi-arid and/or sparsely vegetated regions.

  21. Impact on model skin Temperature Impact on variable X: │X_CTL – X_obs│- │X_MOD – X_obs│ Mean absolute Error of Control Experiment - MeanError of Modified model Impact > 0  Error Reduction

  22. Changing LAI: Impact on skin Temperature 0 UTC 12 UTC • There is a positive impact of the MODIS LAI in MAM (and JJA – not shown) in daytime temperatures. • The impact is higher in regions where vegetation presents large annual cycles. • The impact is small for night-time cases (when model biases are smaller).

  23. Radiation Products • Down-welling Short- and Long-wave Fluxes are strongly influenced by clouds; at seasonal scale, they will have the signature of • ITCZ and monsoon (tropics) • dominant storm-tracks (mid-latitudes) Also ...
