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

Description:

Abstract:: The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) is a multisatellite system designed to measure the Earth's radiation budget. The ERBE instruments fly on a mid-inclination National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) satellite (Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS)) and two sun-synchronous National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites (NOAA-9 and NOAA-10). Each satellite carries both a scanner and a nonscanner instrument package. The S-4 contains averages of flux and albedo on regional, zonal, and global scales for both scanner and nonscanner data. It is available as a combination of all operational spacecraft (ERBS, NOAA-9, and NOAA-10) for the scanner data and the wide field-of-view (WFOV) data. It is available as a combination of the ERBS and NOAA-9 spacecraft for medium field-of-view (MFOV) data. The S-4 is a multifile product which has seven files of scanner data; scanner data are of 2.5-degree resolution and each region is nested to 5 and 10 degrees. The S-4 contains five files of MFOV resolution and each region is nested to 10 degrees. Also on the S-4 are three files of MFOV shape factor and three files of WFOV shape factor data, which are 10-degree resolution. Monthly (day), monthly (hour), daily, and monthly hourly averages are determined for each region. The data are represented in 8-, 16-, and 32-bit integers.
