ISCCP-ERBE Flux Comparison Summary
We are fitting ERBE by ISCCP in the hopes of getting the accuracy of
the ERBE data with the time range of the ISCCP data. We also hope that
by analyzing the differences we can understand why they occur and
eventually point out the physical and/or dynamical flaws in the
analysis procedures that cause them.
Base Comparison
A simple comparison of ISCCP and ERBE (ERBE-ISCCP) shows a
mean difference that averages 12 +/- 7.5 W/m2,
and an
RMS
that averages 15.5+/- 7.5 W/m2 (The RMS includes the mean
difference; it is clearly dominated by it).

Modeling ERBE-ISCCP
There are a series of comparisons we can make to better understand the
ERBE-ISCCP differences.
