the Ceres site is not very user friendly.
Excellent summary.
A great project however if you can get through it and explain what it means and how we might use real-time Ceres data to make our forums more accurate.
Our contribution here is real time coverage of events but we need to paste that over the scientific literature rather than just winging it.
Reading the collected works of D.K. Perovich (249 papers) backwards from 2016 provides a more concrete approach than Ceres. Perovich has worked for decades on the very issue of experimental radiation balance from instrumentation on the ice. The last three years of titles are certainly intriguing:
