CER_BDS_Terra-FM2_Edition4

Description

CER_BDS_Terra-FM2_Edition4 is the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Bidirectional Scans (BDS) Terra Flight Model 2 (FM2) Edition 4 data product, which is collected using the CERES-FM2 instrument on the Terra platform. CER_BDS_Terra-FM2_Edition4 includes geolocated and calibrated Top of the Atmosphere (TOA) filtered radiances and other instrument data. Data collection for this product is ongoing. Each CERES BDS data product contains twenty-four hours of Level-1B data for each CERES scanner instrument mounted on each spacecraft. BDS includes samples of normal and short Earth scan elevation profiles in fixed and rotating azimuth modes (including space, internal calibration, and solar calibration views). BDS contains Level-0 raw (unconverted) and the geolocated converted science and instrument data. BDS contains additional data not found in the Level-0 input file, including converted satellite position and velocity data, celestial data, converted digital status data, and parameters used in the radiance count conversion equations. CERES is a key Earth Observing System (EOS) program component. CERES is a key Earth Observing System (EOS) program component. The CERES instruments provide radiometric measurements of the Earth's atmosphere from three broadband channels. The CERES missions follow the successful Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) mission. The first CERES instrument, the proto flight model (PFM), was launched on November 27, 1997, as part of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). Two CERES instruments (FM1 and FM2) were launched into polar orbit onboard the Earth Observing System (EOS) flagship Terra on December 18, 1999. Two additional CERES instruments (FM3 and FM4) were launched onboard Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua on May 4, 2002. The CERES FM5 instrument was launched onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite on October 28, 2011. The newest CERES instrument (FM6) was launched onboard the Joint Polar-Orbiting Satellite System 1 (JPSS-1) satellite, now called NOAA-20, on November 18, 2017.
