FLASHFlux Data and Information

 

The Fast Longwave And SHortwave Radiative Fluxes (FLASHFlux) project produces near real-time surface and Top of Atmosphere (TOA) radiative fluxes which are important for understanding the impact of changes to the Earth's surface and the state of the atmosphere. FLASHFlux processes CERES Terra FM1 and Aqua FM3 data in crosstrack scan mode. The FLASHFlux data products are written in HDF format.
