Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) Regional, Zonal, and Global Averages S-4 data in native format

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/erbe/s4_nat_l3

ERBE_S4_NAT_1 is the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) Regional, Zonal, and Global Averages S-4 data in native format data set, which contains space and time averages of flux and albedo on regional, zonal, and global scales for both scanner and non-scanner data in native format.

Description

Data collection for this collection is complete. The data are represented as 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit integers.

ERBE is a multi-satellite system that was designed to measure the Earth's radiation budget. ERBE instruments flew on a mid-inclination National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) and two sun-synchronous National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites, NOAA-9 and NOAA-10. NOAA-9 and NOAA-10 provided global coverage and the ERBS provided coverage between 67.5 degrees north and south latitude.

Each satellite carried both a scanner and a non-scanner instrument package. The non-scanner instrument contained four Earth-viewing channels and a solar monitor. The Earth-viewing channels had two spatial resolutions: a horizon-to-horizon view of the Earth, and a field-of-view limited to about 1000 km in diameter.

The former was called the wide field-of-view (WFOV) and the latter the medium field of view (MFOV) channels. For each of the two fields of view, there was a total spectral channel which was sensitive to all wavelengths and a shortwave channel which used a high purity, fused silica filter dome to transmit only the shortwave radiation from 0.2 to 5 microns. Because of the concern for spectral flatness and high accuracy, all five channels on the non-scanner package were active cavity radiometers.

The ERBE S-4G product contained averages of radiant flux and albedo on regional, zonal, and global scales. The data for the S-4G product were arranged by parameter values. ERBE S-4G MFOV product was available as a combination of the ERBS and NOAA-9 spacecraft.

Products were archived as a combination of ERBS and NOAA-9 from February 1985 through October 1986. MFOV measurements from NOAA-10 have not been archived.
