摘要
The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) instrument is the first to measure the earth radiation budget from a geostationary orbit. This allows a full sampling of the diurnal cycle of radiation and clouds-which is important for climate studies, as well as detailed process studies, e.g. the lifecycle of clouds or particular aerosol events such as desert storms. GERB data is now for the first time released as Edition I data for public scientific use. In this paper we summarise the algorithms used for the Edition I GERB data processing and the main validation results. Based on the comparison with the independent CERES instrument, the Edition I GERB accuracy is 5% for the reflected solar radiances and 2% for the emitted thermal radiances. (c) 2007 COSPAR.
