The ERB-Zonal Means Tape (ZMT) data set contains zonal means of earth radiation budget parameters obtained from the Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) experiment on Nimbus-7. Parameters include insolation, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), albedo, and net radiation calculated from the narrow-field-of-view measurements. Data are calculated for 4.5-deg latitude zones on a daily, 6-day, monthly, and seasonal basis. The data set was derived by the Nimbus Project from the ERB SEFDT, MATRIX, and SAVER tapes (NSSDC ID 78-098A-07B, 78-098A-07C, and 78-098A-07I). There are two 9-track, 1600-bpi tapes per year.
