TL;DR: These algorithms are a prototype for the system that will produce the scientific data required for studying the role of clouds and radiation in the Earth's climate system, and are fundamental to the ability to understand, detect, and predict global climate change.

TL;DR: Inflight calibration systems and on- orbit calibration approaches are described, which are being used to determine the temporal stabilities of the sensors' gains and offsets from prelaunch calibrations through on-orbit measurements.

TL;DR: The Clouds and Earth Radiant Energy System (CERES) project s objectives are to measure the reflected solar radiance (shortwave) and Earth-emitted (longwave) radiances and from these measurements to compute the shortwave and longwave radiation fluxes at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and the surface and radiation divergence within the atmosphere as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The first data obtained from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) are presented in this paper, which include emitted infrared radiation, albedo, and estimated scene types for Nov. 15, 1984, as well as measurements of the solar constant.

TL;DR: The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Energy Balanced and Filled (EBAF) top-of-atmosphere (TOA), Edition 4.0 (Ed4.0) data product is described in this paper.
