The Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) was a NASA scientific research satellite. The satellite was one of three satellites in NASA's research program, named Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), to investigate the Earth's radiation budget. The satellite also carried an instrument that studied stratospheric aerosol and gases.
The NASA Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) project involved three such satellites: the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS), launched October 1984; NOAA-9, launched December 1984; and NOAA-10, launched September 1986. [44] The growth in Earth's energy imbalance from satellite and in situ measurements (2005–2019).
An Earth radiation budget experiment (ERBE), A Solar Backscattered UltraViolet radiometer . The secondary experiment was a Data Collection and Platform Location System (DCPLS). A Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking System system was also carried on NOAA-9.
The satellite orbited the Earth once every 107,30 minutes, at an inclination of 100,00°. Its perigee was 1,093 kilometers (679 mi) ... Earth Radiation Budget (ERB);
The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB [1]) is an instrument aboard EUMETSAT's Meteosat Second Generation geostationary satellites designed to make accurate measurements of the Earth radiation budget. It was produced by a European consortium consisting of the United Kingdom, Belgium and Italy.
Each CERES instrument is a radiometer which has three channels – a shortwave (SW) channel to measure reflected sunlight in 0.2–5 μm region, a channel to measure Earth-emitted thermal radiation in the 8–12 μm "window" or "WN" region, and a Total channel to measure entire spectrum of outgoing Earth's radiation (>0.2 μm).
One of the most important scientific contributions of the Nimbus missions was their measurements of the Earth's radiation budget.For the first time, scientists had global, direct observations of the amount of solar radiation entering and exiting the Earth system.
During the eight-day mission, the crew also deployed the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite, conducted scientific observations of Earth with the OSTA-3 pallet (including the SIR-B radar, FILE, and MAPS experiments) and large format camera (LFC), and conducted several in-cabin experiments as well as activating eight "Getaway Special" canisters.
