The TIROS 2 Final Meteorological Radiation Tapes (FMRT) were produced on an IBM 7094 computer. They contain calibrated radiances measured in five wavebands between 0.2 and 30 micrometers. They also include attitude/orbit data, geographic locations associated with the radiation measurements, solar ephemeris, and satellite temperature. These binary tapes contain the original reduced data in their entirety. Each tape contains approximately 1 day, i.e., eight orbits of data. The exact format of the tapes is described in the "TIROS II Radiation Data Users' Manual" and its supplement (B00820).
