This experimenter-supplied set of corrected, continuous scan earth radiance data was generated by an IBM 3081 onto magnetic tape. The data were derived from the raw earth radiance data in the Raw Units Tape - SBUV (RUT-S; NSSDC ID 78-098A-09) and are organized into one file per Bartel (27-day) period. Each file contains the following types of records: 1) actual (postlaunch) wavelengths from about 160 to 400 nm at 0.2-nm intervals; 2) normalized monochromator daytime earth radiances for each of the 1200 wavelengths and normalized photometer earth radiances for each of 16 samples at 343.3 nm; 3) daily mean monochromator solar irradiances at each of the 1200 wavelengths and daily mean photometer solar irradiances at 343.3 nm, as computed for the Continuous-Scan Solar Flux (SUNC) data set (NSSDC ID 78-098A-09V); and 4) a trailer record with quality control information. There is one tape per data year.
This data set was transferred to the Goddard DAAC in January 1995.
