They contained comments such as “the single most critical issue for current climate change observations was their lack of accuracy and low confidence in observing the small climate change signals over long decade timescales”. Existing NASA and European measurements are unable to detect such trends that need to be found, because their instruments degrade on-orbit in ways that till now, could not be tracked and compensated for in their released Earth data (i.e. creating spurious trends). This data is from the Moon and Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (MERBE). It uses the constant reflectivity of the Moon as a calibration standard to monitor calibration changes for instruments built for the Clouds and The Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES, on NASA Terra and Aqua platforms). The Earth reflected solar irradiance data here dating from 2000, are perhaps the most stable ERB satellite calibration dataset ever produced. It is free for all to download and compare with climate model simulations run since 2000 up to the present day, to give better confidence in their predictions of future climate change. 2021 Decadal survey page webpage USA https://www.nationalacademies.org/projects/DEPS-SSB-15-01/publication/24938 Dessler A E 0000-0003-3939-4820 2010 A Determination of the Cloud Feedback from Climate Variations over the Past Decade journal article Science 330(6010) https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1192546 1523-1527 Matthews Grant grant.matthews@gmail.com 0000-0001-8979-6823 2017 The Moon and the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (MERBE), 15min recorded AMS talk other https://ams.confex.com/ams/97Annual/videogateway.cgi/id/35776?recordingid=35776&uniqueid=Paper306140 Matthews Grant grant.matthews@gmail.com 0000-0001-8979-6823 2018 First decadal lunar results from the Moon and Earth Radiation Budget Experiment journal article Applied Optics 57(7) https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.57.001594 1594 Matthews Grant grant.matthews@gmail.com 0000-0001-8979-6823 2018 Real-Time Determination of Earth Radiation Budget Spectral Signatures for Nonlinear Unfiltering of Results from MERBE journal article Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology 57(2) https://doi.org/10.1175/JAMC-D-16-0406.1 273-294 Matthews Grant grant.matthews@gmail.com 0000-0001-8979-6823 2021 Moon and Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (MERBE) EBAF-like Solar incoming radiation (2000-03 to 2014-12) dataset https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.931778 Matthews Grant grant.matthews@gmail.com 0000-0001-8979-6823 2021 Moon and Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (MERBE) EBAF-like Solar reflected radiation (2000-03 to 2014-12) dataset https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.931779 Ramanathan V Cess R D Harrison Edwin F Barkstrom Bruce R Ahmad E Hartmann D 1989 Cloud-Radiative Forcing and Climate: Results from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment journal article Science 243(4887) https://doi.org/10.1126/science.243.4887.57 57-63 Wielicki Bruce A Barkstrom Bruce R Harrison Edwin F Lee III Robert B Smith G Louis Cooper John E 1996 Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES): An Earth Observing System Experiment other https://doi.org/10.1175/1520-0477(1996)077%3C0853:CATERE%3E2.0.CO;2 853-868 Wielicki Bruce A Wong Takmeng Loeb Norman Minnis Patrick 0000-0002-4733-6148 Priestley Kory Kandel Robert 2005 Changes in Earth's Albedo Measured by Satellite journal article Science 308(5723) https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1106484 825-825 Wielicki Bruce A Young D F Mlynczak M G et al. 2013 Achieving Climate Change Absolute Accuracy in Orbit journal article Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society 94(10) https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-12-00149.1 1519-1539 Figure 1: 2000-2015 Sun Power Trend of -0.029%/Decade cannot drive Global Warming https://download.pangaea.de/reference/108902/attachments/Fig1_4_Matthews.jpg Figure 2: NASA CERES Ed. 4.1 Earth Albedo Solar Warming Change https://download.pangaea.de/reference/108903/attachments/Fig2_4_Matthews.jpg Figure 3: 2000-2015 Changes to solar heating rates per decaade due to changing Earth reflectivity, relative to that of the Moon https://download.pangaea.de/reference/108905/attachments/Fig3_4_Matthews.jpg Figure 4: Detectable CRF Trend Size https://download.pangaea.de/reference/108906/attachments/Fig4_4_Matthews.jpg Global outgoing Earth Spectra Animation from MERBE https://download.pangaea.de/reference/108907/attachments/Global_outgoing_Earth_Spectra_Animation_from_MERBE.mp4 not specified MERBE The Moon & Earth Radiation Budget Experiment https://www.merbeclimate.com/ 88 CC-BY-4.0 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ CurationLevelB Basic curation https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Curation_levels citable Climate Model Prediction Validation Cloud Radiative Forcing/Feedback (CRF) Earth observation Earth Radiation Budget Solar climate forcing Terra & Aqua NASA Satellites author23078 author25926 author27272 author42851 author81721 author81722 author81723 author81724 author81725 author81726 author81727 author81728 author81729 author81730 author81731 author81732 author81733 author81734 author81735 author81736 curlevel20 journal1335 journal14481 journal2773 journal8096 license21 project4695 ref108522 ref108523 ref108524 ref108525 ref108526 ref108527 ref108528 ref108529 ref108530 ref108902 ref108903 ref108905 ref108906 ref108907 refds931778 refds931779 term47268 term68136 term68137 term68138 term68139 term68140 topotype1
