 ====== GERB Data Content ======
-These pages aim to give you a visual description of the main fields contained in the GERB data files. For each field, a short description is given and a false color image is presented. The full list and description of the GERB data content is available in the [[ftp://gerb.oma.be/Documents/userguide.pdf|GERB level 2 User Guide]].

 ==== /Radiometry/Solar Flux ====
-This field gives the quantity of the incoming solar radiation which is reflected by the Earth-atmosphere system. The higher values for the solar reflected flux are observed over optically thick cloud cover located close to the Sun-subpoint where the illumination is maximum. The physical unit for this quantity is the Watt per square meter (W/m2). In the GERB data file, the solar flux is quantify using a quantification factor 0.25 W/m2. An animation showing the variation of the solar reflected flux for a 48-hour period is available [[http://gerb.oma.be/gerb/LastImages/anim_sol_flux.gif|here]].

 ==== /Radiometry/Thermal Flux ====
-This field gives the quantity of energy thermally emitted by the Earth-atmosphere system. The higher values for the thermal flux are observed over hot desert areas under clear sky conditions. Clouds usually cause a decrease of the thermal emission from the Earth to the space (greenhouse effect of clouds). The physical unit for this quantity is the Watt per square meter (W/m2). In the GERB data file, the thermal flux is quantify using a quantification factor 0.25 W/m2.
