Green, R.N., House, F.B., Stackhouse, P.W., Wu, X., Ackerman, S.A., Smith, W.L. and Johnson, M.J. (1990). Intercomparison of scanner and nonscanner measurements for the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment. Journal of Geophysical Research 95: doi: 10.1029/90JD00474. issn: 0148-0227.

The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment nonscanner measurements are simulated with the scanner measurements. The error in simulating a single measurement is 1% for longware and 3% for shortwave. Errors in simulating the average daily measurements are half these amounts. Four months of Earth Radiation Budget Satellite measurements were analyzed. The results show that changing sun geometry affects the accuracy of the nonscanner measurements. The medium field of view (MFOV) total channel and scanner agree to within 2% on average. The wide field of view (WFOV) total channel and scanner agree to within 1%. For the shortwave channels, the agreement with the scanner is 2% for the MFOV and 2.5% for the WFOV. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1990
