S-NPP/CERESFM5ValidationResults
CERESInstrumentWorkingGroup
Tropical Mean (TM): Nadir LW radiance for All-sky Ocean in ± 20 deg Latitude. Changes in SW/TOT channel is monitored through Day-Night (DN) Difference comparison between LW and Simulated LW from Window measurements. DN Difference comparison of FM3 Edition4 with FM5 Edition1 results show slight increase in FM5 results, which can attribute to change in SW/TOT sensor.
