CRAVE

CERES Radiation Validation Experiment

The CERES Radiation Validation Experiment (CRAVE), operating under NASA Science, continues its work to monitor radiation levels at Earth's surface. The project aims to enhance the reliability of data used to understand planetary radiation balances.

Continuous Surface Measurements and Satellite Validation

CRAVE provides high-quality data through continuous surface radiation measurements. These ground measurements are utilized to validate and calibrate data products collected by the orbiting CERES instrument and other observation satellites.

Contribution to Climate Models and Satellite Tech

Ground-based validation data reinforces the accuracy of satellite products, thereby improving the quality of scientific analyses. These continuous radiation measurements directly contribute to maintaining the precision of remote sensing systems.
