The influence of clouds on the Earth's radiation budget is analyzed using the PATMOS data set, which spans the period from July 1981 to the present. This data set resulted from reprocessing the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on-board NOAA sunsynchronous polar-orbiting satellites beginning with NOAA-7. Only satellites having an afternoon equator-crossing time were utilized. The PATMOS dataset, produced as part of the NOAA/NASA Pathfinder Program, provides atmospheric products, which include top of the atmosphere broadband estimates of outgoing longwave and absorbed solar radiation (cloudy and clear-sky). Computation of the differences between the cloudy and clear-sky radiation components (cloud-radiative forcing) yield estimates of the effects of clouds on the radiation. Variations in the cloud-radiative forcing are examined to detect seasonal to interannual climate anomalies, such as caused by the recent El Nino
