General information and objectives

As of December 2010 a 24.5-year (July 1983 to December 2007) data set of surface and top-of-atmosphere (TOA) shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) radiative fluxes is available. The data set is produced, archived, and made available to the science community in both a binary and netCDF format by the NASA Langley Research Center Atmospheric Sciences Data Center. It is designated as SRB Release 3.0 and supersedes the 22.5-year SRB Release-2.5/2.81 data set made public 3 years ago. The data set is produced on a 1º x 1º global grid using satellite-derived cloud parameters and ozone fields, reanalysis meteorology, and a few other ancillary data sets.
