 This study develops an algorithm for estimating short-wave upwelling radiative flux, SWAP-RF, in the near-infrared wavelength band using space orbiting Argus 1000 microspectrometer data, which operates within 900 nanometers to 1700 nanometers with a spectral resolution of 6 nanometers and spatial resolution of 1.4 kilometers. The study calculates the SWAP-RF due to the absorption of O2, H2O, CO2, and CH4 in the selected wavelength band of each gas using genspect line-by-line radiative transfer model simulations. The estimated SWAP-RF-SYN from genspect was compared with SWAP-RF of Argus 1000 over a period of four years, 2009 and 2013. The study found that the selected satellite data set of Week 75, Pass 43 and Week 14, Pass 52 showed minimum 0.850, 0.10 to 1.60, WM2 and maximum 1.450, 0.600 to 2.30, WM2 respectively, and further analysis is required to find the radiative effects of smoky areas and clouds within the Argus wavelength range.
