The CERES team announces the release of Edition 4.0 of the Energy Balanced and Filled (EBAF) Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) data product. EBAF-TOA Ed4.0 leverages off of the many algorithm improvements that have been made in the Edition 4 suite of CERES level 1-3 data products. EBAF Ed4.0 also includes a limited set of MODIS imager-based cloud parameters alongside the EBAF-TOA fluxes.
This initial release covers the period March 2000 – June 2015. Additional months (through September 2016) will become available later this month.
For users interested in EBAF surface radiative fluxes, we anticipate releasing EBAF-Surface Ed4.0 in May 2017.
CERES EBAF-TOA Ed4.0 data are available from the CERES Ordering Tool (https://ceres.larc.nasa.gov/order_data.php), which also provides subsetting and visualization capabilities.
