Outgoing Long Wave Radiation (olr)?

Answer»

Majority of meteorological sensors OPERATE in LONG wave range of radiation so that:

  1. They operate DAY and night
  2. The problem of low albedo is not encountered
  3. The earth radiation is maximum and thermal IR and ocean EMISSIVE is nearly unity.

Keeping the above into MIND the outgoing flux of long wave radiation at the top of atmosphere is an important parameter in the earth atmosphere radiation budget. This parameter can be derived by physical/statistical algorithm from the narrow band.
