==== September 2023 ====

There were two presentations mentioning GERB at EUMETSAT 2023:

  * Xinyue Wang, Kevin Wolf, Grégoire Dannet, Olivier Boucher, Nicolas Bellouin, "Radiative forcing of a contrail cirrus outbreak over Western Europe in June 2020", using GERB to validate a radiative transfer model
  * Pierre De Buyl, Edward Baudrez, Christine Aebi, Nicolas Clerbaux, Johan Moreels, Jacqueline E. Russell, "Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB): status update and user-friendly access to GERB data using Python", discussing the status of the GERB-4 data, and a new Python reader for user-friendly access to the GERB data

==== October 2022 ====

The "//Earth Radiation Budget Workshop//" is on-going, in Hamburg, Germany. The GERB team is presenting its latest achievements.  {{ :img_3059.jpg?direct&400|}}

==== August 2022 ====

The "Quartz Filter Anomaly" affecting the GERB4 data has been fixed and the GERB4 record (Jan 2018 onward) is under reprocessing. The data is expected to be available in time for presentation at the EUMETSAT 2022 conference in Brussels.  

==== August 2022 ====

The next "//Earth Radiation Budget Workshop//" will be held on October 12-14, 2022, in Hamburg, Germany. This workshop is the join meeting of the CERES, ScaRaB, GERB, and Libera science teams. 

==== July 2022 ====

Presentation of the GERB record at the **International Radiation Symposium (IRS)** @ Thessaloniki, Greece: "Preliminary Validation of 18 Years of Broadband Radiation Data from the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) Instruments", Christine Aebi [[this>/PapPrePos/2022_IRS/Aebi_IRS2022_short.pdf|Presentation (PDF)]]

==== June 2022 ====

As part of the MSG2 payload, the **GERB1** instrument is now operational over the Western part of the Indian Ocean (subsatellite longitude of 45.5° East). The **GERB1** Indian Ocean record starts on 9th May 2022 and is processed in near real time with the version tag V007. \\ \\
