A method to determine radiation budget components, planetary albedo and emitted longwave radiation flux density at the top of the atmosphere from satellite measurements of filtered radiances is presented. The transformation of radiance to flux density and the spectral integration of the measured values is based on radiative transfer models for the solar and terrestrial spectral range. These model calculations are made for a wide variety of atmospheric profiles. The method is applied to data of the geostationary satellite "Meteosat'. Geostationary satellite data can furthermore monitor diurnal changes of the radiation budget components over several geographical locations.
