An analysis of the measurement of the Earth Radiation Budget components both by standard radiometric principles and radiation pressure principles has been carried out in the context of a complete radiation budget experiment.

Data from an experiment to measure the upward and downward components of solar radiation from aircraft during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) have been analyzed in the present study.

The purpose of this work is to determine theoretically, the microburst detection capabilities of a passive infrared (IR) radiometer system.

The five papers of this report have been written in attempt to open up a new dialogue among meteorologists and other scientists on the possibility of meso-scale weather modification through carbon dust interception of solar energy.

In July 1990, the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University (CSU) received a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to deploy Surface Radiation Budget (SRB) measurement stations in a region of the equatorial western Pacific in order to collect data for a pilot study of the radiation budget.
