Obs4MIPs: Monthly-mean diurnal cycle of top of atmosphere outgoing longwave radiation from the GERB instrument (GERB-HR-ED01 rlut 1hrCM)

This dataset contains top of atmosphere (TOA) outgoing longwave radiation from the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) instrument on board the Meteosat-9 geostationary satellite, for the period from May 2007 until 2012. In this dataset (labelled 'GERB-HR-ED01 rlut 1hrCM'), the data provided consist of monthly-mean diurnal cycles, with each day resolved into 1-hour means. Data are only available for six months of each year (January, May, June, July, November and December), due to operational constraints of the GERB instrument. It has been produced in Obs4MIPs (Observations for Model Intercomparisons Project) format, as part of an activity to increase the use of GERB satellite observational data for the modelling and model analysis communities. This is not currently a standard GERB satellite instrument product, but does represent an effort on behalf of the GERB project team to identify a product that is appropriate for routine model evaluation. The data may have been reprocessed, reformatted, or created solely for comparisons with climate model output.

本数据集涵盖2007年5月至2012年期间，搭载于Meteosat-9地球静止卫星的地球静止辐射预算仪（Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget, GERB）所探测的大气顶（Top of Atmosphere, TOA）向外长波辐射数据。本数据集命名为GERB-HR-ED01 rlut 1hrCM，所提供的数据为月平均日循环序列，即将每日拆分为1小时间隔的平均值后合成得到。由于地球静止辐射预算仪的运行限制，本数据集仅包含每年1月、5月、6月、7月、11月及12月共6个月的数据。本数据集采用模式比较计划观测数据集（Observations for Model Intercomparisons Project, Obs4MIPs）格式制作，作为提升地球静止辐射预算仪卫星观测数据在模式研发与模式分析学界应用率相关活动的一部分。目前本数据集并非地球静止辐射预算仪卫星的标准产品，但它体现了地球静止辐射预算仪项目团队为开发适用于常规模式评估的数据集所做出的尝试。本数据集的数据可能已经过重新处理、格式转换，或仅为与气候模式输出结果进行对比而生成。
