Abstract
A method is described for the estimation of downwelling long‐wave radiation in both cloudy and clear‐sky conditions. This method uses an estimate of cloud fraction, obtained from the output of a laser cloud‐base recorder, to modify the clear‐sky emissivity as calculated from standard near‐surface measurements. © Crown Copyright 2005.
