Abstract

EarthCARE (Earth Clouds, Aerosols, and Radiation Explorer) is a future European and Japanese joint mission, with the objective of obtaining clouds and aerosols profiles at global scale in order to improve their parameterisations in climate models. To improve these parameterisations the computations have to be done in a radiatively consistent manner with the radiation budget at the top of the Atmosphere, measured by a broadband radiometer onboard the satellite. Angular models are needed so that this budget can be measured accurately. We show how the performance of these models depends on the viewing geometry, existing preferred observing angles, which allow obtaining more accurate top of Atmosphere Earth radiation budget measurements.
