Broadband radiative quantities for the EarthCARE mission: the ACM-COM and ACM-RT products

Abstract ± 10  W m- 2 ∼ 5 × 21  km “assessment domains” that are constructed using MSI data. Some of ACM-RT's products are passed forward to the “radiative closure assessment” process that quantifies, for each assessment domain, the likelihood that EarthCARE's goal has been achieved. As EarthCARE represents the first mission to make “operational” use of 3D RT models, emphasis is placed on differences between 1D and 3D RT results. For upwelling SW flux at 20 km altitude, 1D and 3D values can be expected to differ by more than EarthCARE's scientific goal of ± 10  W m- 2 at least 50 % of the time.
