ARM (Atmospheric Radiation Measurement) Enhanced Shortwave Experiment (ARESE) Langley DAAC Project/Campaign Document |
The ARM Enhanced Shortwave Experiment (ARESE) was conducted at the Department of Energy's ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) Central Facility between September 22, 1995 and November 1, 1995. The principal objectives of ARESE were (1) to directly measure the absorption of solar radiation by the clear and cloudy atmosphere and to place uncertainty bounds on these measurements; and (2) to investigate the possible causes of absorption in excess of model predictions.
ARESE is a DoE - NASA collaboration designed to measure absorption of solar radiation in the cloudy atmosphere by measuring the upwelling and downwelling radiative fluxes using three aircraft flying at the tropopause (ER-2), near cloud top (Egrett), and below cloud base (Twin Otter).
