 Abstract: Effects of cloud diurnal cycle on top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and surface regional monthly mean irradiances, climatological mean, and anomalies are analyzed using CERES derived TOA irradiances and surface irradiances computed with MODIS derived cloud properties. Cloud properties derived from Terra and Aqua MODIS are sufficient to capture cloud diurnal cycle to compute regional monthly mean surface irradiances. While missing cloud diurnal cycle leads to a biased TOA and surface regional irradiances for regions with a strong cloud diurnal cycle, monthly regional TOA and surface anomalies derived from one sun-synchronous orbit agrees well with those derived from two sun-synchronous orbits. Based on these results, the algorithm to produce Edition 4.2 CERES EBAF product is developed. Regional TOA and surface climatological means derived from one sun-synchronous orbit are adjusted to match corresponding climatological means derived from Terra+Aqua observations. This climatological adjustment approach is used to merge the Terra only period to the Terra+Aqua period and to extend the Terra and Aqua record by merging NOAA20 observations. Two additional differences of Edition 4.2 EBAF algorithm to compute surface irradiances compared to the earlier version are: 1) no geostationary satellite derived cloud properties are used and 2) temperature and humidity from MERRA-2 instead of GEOIS-5.4.1 are used. Once surface monthly regional mean irradiances are compared with surface observations, the agreement is equivalent to the agreement with the earlier version. However, because surface irradiances are not affected by geostationary satellite artifacts, regional surface irradiance anomaly time series is significantly improved, especially for longwave irradiances.
