Methodology

Scientific paper

The objective of the study is to improve the derived climatology from ScaRaB and ERBE information on short- and long-wave radiation balance terms at the top of the atmosphere by employing stratified samples with respect to circulation anomalies. The macrosynoptic types used for this purpose is the Hess-Brezowsky (HB) classification, based on independent sea-level and mid-troposphere pressure fields, but they were objectively compressed into 9 groups. This compression of the classes is performed by factor nalysis by employing annual mean sea-surface pressure maps. The reference climatology of the frequency of macrotypes is based on the 1961-1990 period. The area of the study is the continental part of Europe represented by 13×17 pieces of 2.5° × 2.5° rectangles of the ERBE and ScaRaB data, i.e. the key area of the HB classification. A comparison of the area mean values and the patterns, suggest that the applied methodology is just slightly able decrease the differences between the two sources of satellite information
