Title
A Simple Fusion Algorithm Of Polar-Orbiting And Geostationary Satellite Data For The Estimation Of Surface Shortwave Fluxes
Abstract
Based on our previous studies, a simple fusion algorithm is proposed to estimate surface shortwave fluxes with polar-orbiting and geostationary satellite data. A shortwave flux component of one geostationary moment can be retrieved by only five inputs which include the known flux of one polar-orbiting moment, solar zenith angles and cloud fractions of the two moments. The preliminary validations are performed in terms of both the simulated and realistic datasets. The R-2 for each component is higher than 0.90 in the simulated case. The accuracy is relatively lower for the more complicated realistic situations. All of the validation results show that the simple and practical fusion algorithm has the potential to estimate surface shortwave fluxes with acceptable accuracy. With the combination of polar-orbiting (MODIS) and geostationary (Fengyun-2C) satellite data, surface shortwave fluxes with the temporal resolution of one hour were retrieved over the Tibetan Plateau.
