CER_CRS_Terra-FM1-MODIS_Edition4A is the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Clouds and Radiative Swath (CRS) Terra Flight Model 1 (FM1) Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Edition4A data product, which was collected using the CERES-FM1 instrument on the Terra platform.
Description
Please note that only a few variables from the SSF have been included, and this product should be used in conjunction with the CER_SSF_Terra-FM1-MODIS_Edition4A product.
The Clouds and Radiative Swath (CRS) product contains one hour of instantaneous CERES data for a single scanner instrument. The CRS contains geolocation, geometry, packet identification, minimal cloud properties, and TOA fluxes from the CERES SSF product. For each CERES footprint on the Single Scanner Footprint (SSF), the CRS product also contains vertical flux profiles evaluated at six levels in the atmosphere: the surface, 850-, 500-, 200-, 70-, and 0.01-hPa for both clear-sky and total-sky.

CERES is a key Earth Observing System (EOS) program component. The CERES instruments provide radiometric measurements of the Earth's atmosphere from three broadband channels. The CERES missions follow the successful Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) mission.
The first CERES instrument, the protoflight model (PFM), was launched on November 27, 1997, as part of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). Two CERES instruments (FM1 and FM2) were launched into polar orbit on board the Earth Observing System (EOS) flagship Terra on December 18, 1999. Two additional CERES instruments (FM3 and FM4) were launched on board Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua on May 4, 2002.
The CERES FM5 instrument was launched on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite on October 28, 2011. The newest CERES instrument (FM6) was launched on board the Joint Polar-Orbiting Satellite System 1 (JPSS-1) satellite, now called NOAA-20, on November 18, 2017.
