Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) S-8 Processed Archival Tape

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/erbe/s8_nat_l2

ERBE_S8_NAT_1 is the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) S-8 Processed Archival Tape data set, which is in Native (NAT) Format.

Description

The PAT (S-8) contains ERBE scanner and non-scanner radiometric measurements for one day and one satellite. Estimates of the flux at the Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) based on these measurements are also included.

Data collection for this data set is complete. ERBE was a multi-satellite system 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).

Each satellite carried both a scanner and a non-scanner instrument package. The S-8 contained all satellite and viewing geometry, and all scanner and non-scanner radiometric measurements in engineering units with flags defining their validity. It also contained quantities such as scanner measurements corrected to flat spectral responses, the scene identified for each scanner pixel, the estimate of radiant flux at TOA for each scanner pixel, and the estimates of the radiant fluxes from the non-scanner measurements.

The data were for a 24-hour period and one satellite. If all three satellites were operational on the same day, three separate S-8s were required for a full set of ERBE data. The data period started at Greenwich midnight (zero Universal Time) and continued for 24 hours and the period was divided into 16-second intervals.
