Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) applications in supporting the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) mission validation and verification

This study also demonstrated the CRTM capability for Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) radiance simulations. The first result showed a good agreement between the measurement and simulation. The CRTM for OMPS limb sensing, and Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) shortwave radiation and long-wave radiation flux simulation capability need to be extended.
