What Does CERES Stand For?
CERES stands for Clouds And Earth S Radiant Energy System
The Clouds And Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) is a satellite-based measurement system developed to monitor and analyze the Earth's radiative energy balance. By capturing data on the reflected sunlight and emitted thermal energy from both clouds and the Earth's surface, CERES enhances our understanding of climate dynamics, atmospheric processes, and the impacts of climate change. This critical data supports research in climate science, weather forecasting, and environmental monitoring, contributing to improved models and informed decision-making regarding global climate policies.
