AVHRR/HIRS Longwave Radiation Budget Data (RBUD)

Radiation Budget Data - The Radiation Budget product suite is
produced from the primary morning and afternoon Polar Orbiters. Product shows a
measure of the longwave radiation emitted (W/m^2) by the earth-atmosphere system to
space. The observations are displayed on a one degree equal area map for the day and
night. The products are: GAC long wave, HIRS long wave, longwave histogram, annual
mean, monthly mean, and seasonal mean. This is a NESDIS legacy product and the file
naming pattern is as follows: NPR.RBSD.[SatelliteID].D[YYDDD] or
NPR.RBMD.[SatelliteID].D[YYDDD]
