This S-4G product combines measurements from the ERBS, NOAA-9, and NOAA-10 spacecraft. This data set contains averages of estimates of longwave, shortwave, and net radiant exitance at the top of the atmosphere and albedo. One set of estimates includes all narrow-field-of-view (NFOV) scanner measurements. The second set contains only those measurements identified as viewing clear sky areas. Four more set of estimates contain nonscanner measurements (MFOV and WFOV) that are reduced with both the shape factor technique and numerical filter technique. There are four types of spatial averaging: 2.5 deg., 5.0 deg., 10.0 deg. regions and zones, and global. There are also three different time periods of averaging: daily, monthly and monthly-hourly. Each tape image contains 1 month of data. The data set is similar to the S-4 product with the following exception: the S-4G product is arranged by parameter whereas the S-4 product is arranged by region. The data set is archived on an Aquidneck optical disk. This data set is identical with NSSDC ID 84-123A-05P and NSSDC ID 86-073A-05K. As of January 1993, the data set is archived and distributed through the EOSDIS DAAC at NASA/Langley Research Center (LaRC DAAC) (804-864-8656).
