Abstract Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) uses a suite of instruments on the Terra and Aqua satellites combined with analyzed weather data and information on surface conditions to estimate surface radiative fluxes. CERES estimates for the Terra satellite were compared with measurements of the surface radiative fluxes collected with the research vessels (RVs) Wecoma and Thomas G. Thompson radiometers for cruises off the Oregon coast undertaken during 2000–03. To assess the shipboard measurements, the radiometer observations were analyzed to identify cloud-free conditions characterized by ∼1–2 h of relatively stable radiative fluxes. Fluxes for the cloud-free conditions were compared with those calculated using profiles of temperature and humidity from analyzed meteorological fields for the times and locations of the measurements and broadband radiative transfer models. For summertime conditions along the Oregon coast, and assuming a marine aerosol having 0.55-μm optical depth of 0.05, m...
