Re: What is CERES?
The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) experiment provides radiometric measurements of the Earth's atmosphere from three broadband channels and is a follow-on to the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) mission. CERES products include both solar-reflected and Earth-emitted radiation from the top of the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. The CERES experiment will lead to a better understanding of the role of clouds and the energy cycle in global climate change.
