V999 Improvements
• Dawn/Dusk “wobble” and artifacts• Line of anomalously high OLR ~ equator• Hot spots removed (N. Sahara)
• ?problem with sun-glint
• Also note: Gulf of Guinea, Brazil convection, mid-latitude “noise” (see Ruth’s talk)

CERES comparison: summary
• LW: GERB is 2.5% < CERES (~ 6 Wm-2)– V999 has removed view-angle dependence
• SW: GERB(V999) ~10% > CERES– ~10 Wm-2 RSW or 0.02-0.03 albedo – V002: smaller differences
• Differences apply for July and December 2004

Summary: V002-V999
• Improved diurnal cycle of OLR (sunglint?)• Monthly-diurnal mean vs CERES
– GERB LW ~2.5% < CERES (V002 similar)– GERB SW ~10% > CERES (V002 less)
• Sahara: increase in model-GERB diffs in LW and SW– but regions of known error (mineral dust, surface albedo)
• Oceans: reduction in model-GERB SW difference– Model low-clouds are too reflective
• Clear-sky fluxes over ocean: agreement with model remains– some improvement although GERB is now more reflective over
Mediterranean and Canaries
