Availability: Data Available from the DAAC
Time span: 1978-11-16 to 1993-12-14
The Nimbus-7 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) Channel 10c Solar Tapes (CST) contain raw irradiance counts and housekeeping data which duplicate the Channel 10c data on the ESST (78-098A-07W). The housekeeping data include the time, geometric angles, and sensor temperatures. For detailed studies of the Nimbus-7 total solar irradiace measurements and their calibration, this data set should be used with the following Channel 10c subsets: 1) Electrical calibration data, 2) mean orbital counts and accurate Earth/Sun distances, and 3) calibrated orbital irradiances. All these subsets are contained in 78-098A-07Y. For mean daily averaged total solar irradiances, see 78-098A-07Q.
