Please go to updated ERBE means: meansjf.htmlEarth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) Monthly Means
A number of single-level monthly mean fields were archived for the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE). There are many more fields available from the ERBE S-4 data product; however, only those variables most similar to standard GCM-derived fields have been accessed and archived.

impact of missing data when "interpolated"
to T42.
