Climatological averages of surface radiation budget parameters, namely, the shortwave and longwave radiative fluxes, have been derived for each month year on a global scale. These climatological were from an 8-yr (96 month) time series monthly average fluxes. The computed using fast parameterizations satellite data International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project Earth Radiation Budget Experiment. Results are presented as hemispheric geographical distributions time–latitude cross sections...
Surface radiation budget data are presented for the midseasonal months of July and October 1983 January April 1984. These allow examination first time geographical seasonal variations entire surface from pole to pole. The latest flux estimation techniques have been used along with International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE). Regional, zonal, hemispheric distributions downward net components both shortwave longwave fluxes total...
Shortwave radiative fluxes that reach the earth's surface are key factors influence atmospheric and oceanic circulations as well climate. Yet, information on these is meager. Surface site data generally available from only a limited number of observing stations over land. Much less known about large-scale variability shortwave oceans, which cover most globe. Recognizing need to produce global-scale fields such for use in climate research, World Climate Research Program has initiated...

Ensuring and improving quality usability is an important part of scientific stewardship digital environmental data products, but the roles responsible parties -those who manage -have been evolving over time have not always clearly defined.Recognizing that in Open Data Big era, effective long-term products requires integrated coordinated team effort experts multiple knowledge domains -data management, science, technology -we introduce following for each these domains: steward, steward.This...
The objectives of this study were to develop measures parent and family factors which may moderate the inborn preference for sweets in children examine relationships between these preschool children's preferences frequency consumption sweet foods. No significant found variables Children's foods was independently related three variables: parents’ eating foods, amount television watched by child, attitudes toward giving their positive contexts. among that seen stronger families preschooler...
Global distributions of surface and atmospheric cloud radiative forcing parameters have been derived using parameterized radiation models with satellite meteorological data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, directly measured top‐of‐atmosphere fluxes Earth Radiation Budget Experiment. Specifically, shortwave, longwave, total at surface, column‐averaged values longwave atmosphere were for midseasonal months April, July, October 1985 January 1986, covering a complete...

Assessing stewardship maturity — the current state of how datasets are documented, preserved, stewarded, and made accessible publicly is a critical step towards meeting U.S. federal regulations, organizational requirements, user needs. The scientific data matrix (DSMM), developed in partnership with NOAA's National Centers Environmental Information (NCEI) Cooperative Institute for Climate Satellites-North Carolina (CICS-NC), provides consistent framework assessing individual Earth Science...

Under the auspices of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) and with collaboration among members ESIP Quality Cluster (IQC), Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) Evaluation Control (EQC) team, Australia/New Zealand Data Interest Group (AU/NZ DQIG), a community effort has been undertaken by international domain experts. The objective this is to develop global guidelines practical recommendations promote representation, sharing reuse quality information at dataset level, leveraging...
FAIR Principles are a set of high-level guidelines for sharing digital resources. The growing global adoption the by policymakers, funders, and organizations compels data professionals, projects, repositories to demonstrate level FAIR-compliance (referred as FAIRness) their data, metadata, infrastructures. Because offer general objectives rather than specific implementation instructions, discrepancies exist due different interpretations, domain-specific requirements, intended applications....
A new long‐term global data set of monthly average surface shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) fluxes extending from July 1983 to June 1991 is now available. It the product computationally fast radiative transfer algorithms that compute using satellite data. The can be used in development general circulation models climate studies, including those examine processes interannual anomalies such as El Nino/Southern Oscillation regional floods droughts.
