Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/terra/ceres/crs_terra-fm1_l2.002g
CER_CRS_Terra-FM1-MODIS_Edition2G 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) Edition2G data product, which was collected using the CERES-FM1 instrument on the Terra platform.
Description
Data collection for this product is complete. Please note that for a full record, this product should be used in conjunction with the CER_CRS_Terra-FM1-MODIS_Edition2B and CER_CRS_Terra-FM1-MODIS_Edition2F products.
The Clouds and Radiative Swath (CRS) product contains one hour of instantaneous CERES data for a single scanner instrument. The CRS contains all of the CERES SSF product data. For each CERES footprint on the Single Scanner Footprint (SSF), the CRS product also contains vertical flux profiles evaluated at four levels in the atmosphere: the surface, 500-, 70-, and 1-hPa.

The CRS fluxes and cloud parameters are adjusted for consistency with a radiative transfer model, and adjusted fluxes are evaluated at the four atmospheric levels 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.
