    Description: Earth Radiation Budget Experiment solar total irradiance data obtained by the solar monitors of the NOAA 9 and 10 spacecraft are presently compared with those obtained by the Solar Maximum Mission's Active Cavity Irradiance Monitor 1, as well as sounding rockets and the Nimbus 7 Earth Radiation Budget channel 10C. A disparity is noted among total irradiance values obtained in near-simultaneous measurements with absolute pyrheliometers of similar design and operational modes which (1) indicates the uncertainty associated with currently available instruments, and (2) recommends intercalibration of electrically self-calibrating pyrheliometers from spacecraft.

    Description: The cavity pyrheliometer sensor aboard Nimbus 7 is now in its tenth year of operation. Results for 9 1/2 years show a decreasing trend through the end of solar cycle 21 of approximately -0.015 percent per year, a leveling off near solar minimum and an increasing irradiance for the beginning of cycle 22. Through April 1988, the irradiance has increased about 0.06 percent above the minimum value which was about 0.08 percent below the highest values obtained near solar maximum. The rise appears more rapid than the decline.

    Description: A discussion is presented of features of the nearly 7 yr of solar radiation data available from Nimbus-7 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) experiments as of early 1986. Summaries are provided of the irradiance data collected by each of the 10 solar sensors, with account taken of the degradation of sensor sensitivity over the active life of the sensors. In contrast, however, has been the performance of the cavity pyrheliometer, channel 10C, which has maintained an accuracy of 0.05 percent after over 6 yr on-orbit. As has been observed in SMM data, the total daily solar irradiance has exhibited a downward trend over the lifetimes of both instruments.

    Description: Five years of Nimbus 7 ERB solar data is available in compact form on a single ERB solar analysis tape (ESAT). The period covered is November 16, 1978 through October 31, 1983. The Nimbus 7 satellite performs just under 14 orbits a day and the ERB solar telescope observe the Sun once per orbit as the satellite passes + or - near the south pole. The data were carefully calibrated and screened. Mean orbital and daily values are given for the total solar irradiance plus selected spectral intervals. In addition, selected solar activity indicators are on the tape. The ERB experiment, the solar data calibration and screening procedures, the solar activity indicators, and the tape format are described briefly.

    Description: The atmospheric effects on the difference of vertically and horizontally polarized brightness temperatures, Delta(T) observed at 37 GHz frequency of the SMMR on board the Nimbus-7 satellite and SSM/I on board the DMSP-F8 satellite are studied over two 2.5 by 2.5 deg regions within the Sahel and Sudan zones of Africa from January 1985 to December 1986 through radiative transfer analysis using surface temperature, atmospheric water vapor, and cloud optical thickness. It is found that atmospheric effects alone cannot explain the observed temporal variation of Delta(T), although the atmosphere introduces important modulations on the observed seasonal variations of Delta(T) due to rather significant seasonal variation of precipitable water vapor. These Delta(T) data should be corrected for atmospheric effects before any quantitative analysis of land surface change over the Sahel and Sudan zones.
