摘要：Satellite-based downward long wave radiation measurement under clear sky conditions in Northeast Asia was conducted using five well-known physical models (Brunt 1932, Idso and Jackson 1969, Brutsaert 1975, Satterlund 1979, Prata 1996) with a newly proposed global R ld model (Abramowitz et al. 2012). Data from two flux towers in South Korea were used to validate downward long wave radiation. Moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) atmospheric profile products were used to develop the R ld models. The overall root mean square error (RMSE) of MODIS R ld with respect to two ecosystem-type flux towers was determined to be ≈ 20 W m -2 . Based on the statistical analyses, MODIS R ld estimates with Brutsaert (1975) and Abramowitz et al. (2012) models were the most applicable for evaluating R ld for clear sky conditions in Northeast Asia. The Abramowitz R ld maps with MODIS T a and e a showed reasonable seasonal patterns, which were well-aligned with other biophysical variables reported by previous studies. The MODIS R ld map developed in this study will be very useful for identifying spatial patterns that are not detectable from ground-based R ld measurement sites.
