Shortwave (SW) radiative flux (usually within 0.3~3μm) is the dominant energy source of our planet, which drives the climate as well as the matter and energy cycle of the Earth system. It is an indispensable component of surface total energy balance. Considering the importance of SW radiation, during the past decades, more and more studies have conducted for estimating surface SW radiation using satellite-based data, such as MODIS, CERES, GOES etc. Although great effort has been made, most researches neglect the topographic effect and mainly focus on the retrieval of SW radiation over ideal horizontal surfaces for both instantaneous and time-integrated radiation. For this point, we propose a topographic SW radiation model based on the existing studies. Based on this, the SW radiative flux components are derived from MODIS data by fully accounting for the surface topographic effect. The results show that the errors induced in the retrieved daily SW radiation can reach up to 400W/m2 at 1km scale. For instantaneous radiation, the uncertainties of derived SW radiation can reach up to 300W/m2 even at 5km scale due to topographic effect. The findings of this paper prove the importance of topographic modeling of surface radiation over rugged terrain. |
