The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) is designed around three Earth-orbiting satellites: the NASA Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS), and two NOAA satellites. The data from these satellites is being used to study the energy exchanged between the Sun, the Earth and space. ... ERBE has helped scientists world-wide better understand how clouds and aerosols, as well as some chemical compounds in the atmosphere (so-called "greenhouse" gases), affect the Earth's daily and long-term weather (the Earth's "climate") [and the ERBE data] has helped scientists better understand something as simple as how the amount of energy emitted by the Earth varies from day to night. 2, record 1, English, - Earth%20Radiation%20Budget%20Experiment

ERBE était un système d'observation de la Terre satelliporté mis au point et exploité par la National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) des É.-U. Il fournissait des mesures étalonnées du bilan radiatif de la Terre recueillies au moyen de radiomètres à large bande à bord de trois satellites, NOAA 9 et 10 dont les orbites couvrent la totalité de la planète et le satellite d'étude du bilan radiatif de la Terre (ERBS) dont l'orbite couvre les régions du globe d'une latitude inférieure à 60°. Cette configuration permet des observations à différentes heures locales pour tenir compte de la variation diurne du bilan radiatif. 2, record 1, French, - Exp%C3%A9rience%20sur%20le%20bilan%20radiatif%20de%20la%20Terre
