2. Modeling the SOA’S MCW and IR Radiation Characteristics and Their Relationship with Surface Heat Fluxes at Synoptic Time Scales

Here we present some results of modeling an intensity of natural radiation of the SOA at microwaves (in the millimeter and centimeter range of wavelengths) and infrareds (in the window of relative transparency 8–12 microns). These characteristics, computed for various levels of observations used in practice (satellite, aircraft, and vessel), were compared with the surface vertical turbulent fluxes of sensible, latent and total heat. A search of spectral intervals providing most close intercorrelation of radiation characteristics and heat fluxes over various time scales (synoptic, seasonal, and annual) was considered as a separate task. The models of the SOA were constructed taking into account an accessible oceanographic and meteorological data required for computation of the radiation characteristics.
