Description:

Many studies involving surface radiative ﬂuxes rely on surface ﬂuxes retrieved by the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) project or derived from spaceborne cloud radar and lidar observations (CloudSat ‐CALIPSO). In particular, most climate models that participated in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) were found to have too little shortwave (SW) radiation being re ﬂected back to space and excessive SW radiation reaching the surface over the Southern Ocean —an error with signi ﬁcant consequences for predicting both regional and global climate. There have been few evaluations of CERES or CloudSat retrievals over the Southern Ocean. In this article,
