CERES-FM5  

Definition

  • The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System instrument measures reflected sunlight and thermal radiation emitted by the Earth. CERES FM5 is currently flying on the Suomi NPP satellite mission, and CERES FM6 will fly on the JPSS-1 spacecraft. CERES helps provide measurements of the spatial and temporal distribution of Earth's Radiation Budget (ERB) components. This further develops a quantitative understanding of the links between the ERB and the proprieties of atmosphere and surface that define it. More Information: https://www.jpss.noaa.gov/ceres.html Mass: approximately 45 kilograms Average Power: 45W Development Institution: NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) CERES Lead: Norman Loeb, NASA LaRC Purpose: To measure the Earth's energy balance for a better understanding of global climate change.
