Satellite Observations of the Earth's Radiation Budget
Science, 1969Meteorological satellites have provided the first complete data on energy exchange between earth and space. The planetary albedo is 29 percent for the mean annual case, and the entire earth-atmosphere system is in near radiative equilibrium. More energy is absorbed in tropical regions than previously believed, and major energy source and sink regions ...

Radiometric Calibrations for the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment
Applied Optics, 1974The earth radiation budget (ERB) experiment is scheduled to be flown aboard the NIMBUS F satellite that is to be launched in mid-1974. This experiment includes channels, to measure solar radiation, earth-reflected radiation (albedo), and earth-emitted long-wave radiation.

The ScaRaB Earth Radiation Budget Scanning Radiometer
Metrologia, 1991In order to ensure that Earth Radiation Budget measurement from space continues through the 1990s, France, Germany and the USSR are developing a Scanning Radiometer for Radiation Balance (ScaRaB) to be flown on a series of METEOR-3 Soviet polar orbiting weather satellites.

Earth radiation budget data from geostationary orbit
IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) instrument will be the first instrument dedicated to measure the Earth radiation budget (ERB) from geostationary orbit from the year 2000 onward. GERB combines both, spectral broadband measurements and high temporal resolution. The GERB spectral bandpass reaches from 0.32 /spl mu/m beyond 30 /spl mu/m.

Earth Radiation Budget data and climate research
Reviews of Geophysics, 1986An overview is presented of the uses of top of the atmosphere radiation budget measurements in studies of climate. The net radiative energy flux at the top of the atmosphere must be balanced by local heat storage in the earth‐atmosphere column or by horizontal transport in the atmosphere and ocean. Regional variations in the components of the radiation

The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE)
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1984The three-satellite ERBE will be flown in the mid-1980s and will provide upgraded data on changes in the input and outflow of energy which drives climatic phenomena. The spacecraft will carry radiometers, self-calibration equipment, and be programmed with inversion and averaging algorithms. Radiation will be scanned at 0.2-5 and 5-50 microns. The ACRIM

Earth Radiation Budget Experiment Scanner Instrument
Reviews of Geophysics, 1986Orbital measurements of the earth's radiation budget are being made from several spacecraft launched in the latter part of 1984. Three sets of instruments have been designed to measure the incident solar flux, the earth's long‐wave emitted radiation, and the earth's reflected radiation more accurately than have been measured before.

Geostationary earth radiation budget instrument
SPIE Proceedings, 1994GERB is an instrument which has been designed by a team led by British Aerospace Space Systems Ltd. to measure the Earth Radiation Budget from a Geostationary Satellite. The results presented in this paper are the outcome of a Phase A design study of an AO instrument to meet a set of science requirements defined by ESTEC and a Science Advisory Group ...

The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment Nonscanner Instrument
Reviews of Geophysics, 1986Two Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) nonscanner instruments are flying with companion scanner instruments to measure the earth's energy budget from low earth orbit. A third set of instruments will be launched in March 1986. This program is the first designed to make a comprehensive set of highly accurate measurements of the earth's energy ...

Climate monitoring with Earth radiation budget measurements
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2013The Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) and its geographical distribution is intimately linked with the earth’s climate and with the general circulation. We analyze 10 years of global Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) measurements from 2000 to 2010 and 8 years of diurnally resolved Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) from 2004 to ...
