The Solar and Earth Flux Data Tape (SEFDT) is a set of solar and wide-field-of-view earth flux data was derived from the Earth radition Budget (ERB) experiment on Nimbus-7. The SEFDT is a subset of the ERB Master Archival Tape (MAT; NSSDC ID 78-098A-07A) and contains both raw counts and recalibrated radiances and irradiances measured in the 0.2 to 50 micrometer range. The latitude and longitude of the earth pixels are given. For the first 19 months, calibration was directly tied to that of the longwave narrow-field-of-view channels. Following the failure of the scanner, an optimized scheme was used. There is one tape per month, except for October 1993 when no data is produced. Please also note that the solar data for the period April 10 to June 23, 1986 is not properly calibrated.
This data set was transferred to the Langley DAAC in April 1996.
