This experimenter-supplied IR radiance data set is on binary magnetic tape created on an IBM 360 computer. It contains calibrated and earth-located radiances, as well as housekeeping information, instrument status, and data quality information. Radiances are measured both day and night in six spectral ranges and are profiled at 4-deg zones from 64 deg S. to 84 deg N. Vertical coverage extends from approximately 10 to 50 km, with the ozone channel measuring through the lower mesosphere to 65 km. Though calibrated, the radiances are not corrected for instrument effects such as field-of-view, electronic delay, and spacecraft motion. There is one Radiance Archival Tape (RAT) per data day covering the period from October 26, 1978, through May 30, 1979, minus 15 off days.
