Obtaining quantities like OLR and RSR from CRTM

1

I’m looking into the possibility of simulating GOES-16 radiances for a wide range of atmospheric conditions in order to train a regression using those radiances to predict quantities like OLR and RSR. It seems that CRTM is a great fit for simulating the radiances, but I’m unsure how to obtain broadband fluxes like OLR. Is there a good way to go about this? These quantities are approximately those measured by the CERES instrument, but I could not find that among the available sensors. Perhaps I can specify such sensor data myself?

Looking forward to hear your recommendations.

This is something I haven’t attempted before, but it seems that there is some literature on obtaining broadband OLR from e.g. AVHRR radiances:

Akkermans, T.; Clerbaux, N. Narrowband-to-Broadband Conversions for Top-of-Atmosphere Reflectance from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). Remote Sens. 2020, 12, 305.

Thanks for linking that paper. That is exactly what I would like to do. I have in fact done so already using collocated CERES and GOES-16 measurements, but I would like to compare this to the resulting regression when using radiative transfer simulations.
