CERES-TRMM ADMs vs. CERES-TERRA (AQUA) ADMs
Several years of CERES-TERRA data = enough sampling to define ADMs at a higher angular resolution than CERES-TRMM ADMs = extends the CERES-TRMM data (40ºN to 40º S) by adding mid-latitude and polar observations BUT:BUT: polar Sun-Synchronous orbit designed to cross the equator at the same local time each orbit do not provide observations of the angular radiation fields over the full range of s
empty ADMs angular bins
TRMM: 350-km circular, precessing orbit with a 35º inclination angle samples each grid box at different local time every day full range of s acquired every 46 days.

Anisotropy of Earth scenes varies with viewing geometry and cloud/clear sky properties in a continuous manner
CERES-TRMM ADMs are defined for discrete angular bins and scene types s and v : 9 angular bins from 0º to 90º in 10º step : 10 angular bins from 0º to 180º with a 10º or 20º step
ADMs angular resolution
An adjustement to the CERES anisotropic factors is needed to avoid introducing large instantaneous flux error or flux discontinuities between angular bins or scene types.

CERES: linear interpolation of bin-averaged ADM radiance Ladm(s,v,) and fluxes Fadm(s) to each observation angle (sa,va,a) and evaluate anisotropic factors from the interpolated quantities R(sa,va,a) = .Ladm(sa,va,a)/Fadm(sa)
RMIB: compute bin-averaged ADM anisotropic factors and use a tri-linear interpolation to estimate R(sa,va,a).
Reduce instantaneous flux errors but no guarantee that ensemble averages of the instantaneous fluxes will remain unbiased

Bias in the mean flux will occur if: Linear interpolation used when actual radiance varies nonlinearly within an angular bin Theoretical models are used to supplement empirical ADMs.

Conclusions
Do not account for normalization and aerosol correction when estimating the reflected SW flux at TOA could explain the reported asymmetries in the diurnal variation of the GERB SW fluxes
Climatological wind speed values will be considered inorder to apply the aerosol correction (LUTs are wind speed dependent)
Both correction terms will be implemented in the RGP system as soon as possible …

Wind speeds and ADMs
The wind speed dependence of the ADMs is only an issue near to sun glint:
(i) at low wind speeds, the range of angles affected by sunglint is small but intense.
(ii) at high wind speeds, the range of angles affected by sunglint is much larger, but not as intense.
