Scientific paper

Satellite measurements of the components of the radiation budget of the Earth-atmosphere system which indicate a lower planetary albedo and greater longwave excitation than previously assumed, are reviewed. The global annual net radiation flux seems to be nearly zero. Nevertheless, the results are still unsatisfying in respect of two problems. Firstly, there are not enough data, especially for the derivation of the exact anisotropy of reflected radiation over different kinds of scenes. It is important to develop scanning radiometers which provide complete angle sampling. Secondly, to measure diurnal variations of the components of the radiation budget and to improve the accuracy of the results, it is desirable to fly two or three satellites simultaneously. This is the only possibility to gain optimal data coverage in time and space.
