The QuickTime Movies are clips from the "Visualization of ERBE Data" video. The ERBE video is a fourteen minute video presenting an overview of the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) project at the NASA LaRC Atmospheric Science Division. Using 3D animation, the video explains what types of data were collected from the satellite instruments and the major scientific contributions from the ERBE project to atmospheric science. The video includes a good explanation and visualization of how scanning and non-scanning instruments work on a satellite.

Order the ERBE video free of charge.
