Comparisons of radiance measurements from overlapping independent Earth and cloud radiation budget (ERB) missions are an important contribution to the validation process of these missions and are essential to the construction of a consistent long-term record of ERB observations. Measurements from two scanning radiometers of different design and calibration, the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) and the Scanner for Radiation Budget (ScaRaB), are compared during simultaneous operation in January and March 1999. The instruments are found to be consistent to within 0.5% and 1.5% in the longwave and shortwave spectral domains, respectively. ¿ 2001 American Geophysical Union
