Nimbus-7 Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) solar measurements extend from November 16, 1978, to December 13, 1993, but with data gaps in 1992 and 1993. The measurements include the total solar irradiance plus six broadband spectral components. The Channel 10c total irradiance data appears very stable, and the calibration, well done. A number of characterization problems remain in the spectral measurements. In the original program, the solar and Earth flux measurements were intermixed and spread over about 170 computer tapes. For easier access, the solar data have been collected into two compact data sets. All of the data are collected into 14 Summary Solar Tapes (SST's). In addition, two Channel 10c Solar Tapes (CST's) give a separate listing of the stable total solar irradiance measurements. Channel 10c calibration and orbital irradiance values are given on separate PC disks. This document gives data descriptions and formats, together with quality control and calibration procedures.
