This figure is substantially the same as that in the article. A few numbers have been augmented (e.g., Surface shortwave absorption is shown as (165 +/- 6) in the article and (159-165 +/- 6) in figure 33.2). Detailed discussion of data sources, including use of space-borne observations from NASA instruments ERBE, CERES, satellite Cloudsat, and satellites on the A-Train can be found in the article by Stevens et al, and those cited by that article.

This activity resulted in the following :
