Description:

An atlas of monthly and seasonal grand means and average standard deviations of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) is presented. These statistics were computed using data derived from the NOAA polar orbiting satellites during the period June, 1974 through November, 1983. Corrections for differing sensor characteristics were applied, and the twice daily observations were averaged to minimize diurnal differences, in order to ensure the homogeneity of the data. Although these data are available globally with 2.5° latitude-longitude resolution, we focus our discussion on the tropical and sub-tropical regions where the OLR is highly correlated with cloudiness and precipitation.
