FLASHFLUX
Definition
- The Fast Longwave And SHortwave Radiative Fluxes (FLASHFlux) project is based upon the algorithms developed for and data collected by the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy Systems (CERES) project. CERES is currently producing world-class climate data products derived from measurements taken aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua spacecrafts. While of exceptional fidelity, these data products require a considerable amount of processing to assure quality and verify accuracy and precision. The result is that CERES data are typically released more than six months after acquisition of the initial measurements. For climate studies, such delays are of little consequence especially considering the improved quality of the released data products. The FLASHFlux project was envisioned as a conduit whereby CERES data could be provided to the community within a week of the initial measurements, with the trade-off that some degree of fidelity would be exacted to gain speed.
