Summary

Abstract: Four Narrow-Field-of-View (NFOV) Nimbus-7 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) products
are described: Scene Radiance Tape (SRT), Maximum Likelihood Cloud Estimation
(MLCE), Sorting into Angular Bins (SAB), and NFOV-MATRIX. These four products
are derived from the Nimbus-7 ERB scanner measurements. The ERB scanner
operated from November 16, 1978 to June 20, 1980. The four data sets cover the
