Earth Radiation Budget Experiment

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005224

A NASA mission consisting of instruments flown on three separate satellites between 1984 and 1990 to measure the Earth's radiation budget. The experiment provided global measurements of incoming solar radiation, reflected solar radiation, and emitted thermal radiation from the planet. Data from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment, or ERBE, provided a baseline for understanding climate and the greenhouse effect.
