Scientific paper

The influence of orbital height, inclination, and scanning geometry on the geographic, temporal and angular coverage of satellite global-radiation-budget measurements using scanning radiometers is investigated by means of a numerical simulation. The results are presented in graphs, diagrams, maps, and tables and discussed. The sampling levels required to reduce sampling errors are quantified, and it is shown that they can best be met by two or three satellites at 1150 km (one in a drifting 60-deg orbit and one or two in polar orbits) with conically scanning radiometers. The use of GEO satellite data for interpolation between the high-resolution measurements is suggested.
