Application Instructions

The above table presents scaling factors which users should apply to select CERES SW parameters on the data product versions listed in the matrix below. For specific lists of the parameters to which these Aqua Rev1 corrections should be applied and instructions on how to do so, refer to the User Applied Revisions for Current Edition section in the Data Quality Summary that corresponds to the data set in question.

The All-sky values should be used unless a user is interested in looking specifically at clear ocean scenes, in this case the clear ocean values should be used. The clear-ocean values were determined by analyzing the ERBE-Like clear ocean scenes as determined by the ERBE Like scene ID. The user should not attempt to combine the all-sky and clear ocean factors in a common study.
