The Seasonal Average Tape (SAVER) data set contains earth radiation budget parameters such as outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), albedo, and net radiation on a 3-month seasonal basis derived from the Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) experiment on the Nimbus-7. The SAVER dataset is similar to the ERB MATRIX (78-098A-07C) dataset. The seasonal intervals are December through February, March through May, June through August, and September through November. Separate wide-field-of-view and narrow-field-of-view scanner data (when available) are presented globally for 2070 fixed target areas, each approximately 500 x 500 km. In addition to the world grids, data are also given in the form of Mercator/polar stereographic projection matrices. The SAVER dataset covers the period from December 1980 (year 3) through December 1985 (year 7) and part of year 8 (through February 1986).
