The Surface Radiation Budget (SRB) project announces a revised release for the following Rel4_1-IP products and date ranges:

July 1983 – December 1987:

  • GEWEXSRB_Rel4_1-IP_Longwave_3hrly_landonly_1
  • GEWEXSRB_Rel4_1-IP_Longwave_daily_landonly_local_1
  • GEWEXSRB_Rel4_1-IP_Longwave_monthly_landonly_local_1

January 1988 and December 2009:

  • GEWEXSRB_Rel4_1-IP_Longwave_daily_local_1

January 2010 – June 2017:

  • GEWEXSRB_Rel4_1-IP_Longwave_3hrly_oceanonly_1
  • GEWEXSRB_Rel4_1-IP_Longwave_daily_oceanonly_local_1
  • GEWEXSRB_Rel4_1-IP_Longwave_monthly_oceanonly_local_1

The original release of these fluxes contained erroneous values for the undefined//NaN regions which then propagated through the averaging of the fields.  The error was limited to the clear-sky downward and upward fluxes at the surface.
