The data, originally written on IBM 360 machines, were recovered from magnetic tapes, also referred to as the Calibrated Brightness Temperature Tapes (CBTT). The data are archived in their original IBM binary proprietary format, also referred to as a binary TAP file.\n\nThe Nimbus-5 satellite was successfully launched on December 11, 1972. The ESMR experiment on Nimbus-5 continued the measurements made by its predecessor flown on Nimbus-4. The ESMR instrument objectives were (1) to derive the liquid water content of clouds from brightness temperatures over oceans, (2) to observe differences between sea ice and the open sea over the polar caps, and (3) to test the feasibility of inferring surface composition and soil moisture.\n\nThe ESMR Principal Investigator was Dr. Thomas T. Wilheit, Jr. from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The Nimbus-5 ESMR data are available from December 11, 1972 (day of year 346) through May 16, 1977 (day of year 136)\n\nThis product was previously available from the NSSDC with the identifier ESAD-00219 (old ID 72-097A-04A).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Access the data via HTTPS.", "downloadURL": "https://acdisc.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/s4pa/Nimbus5_ESMR_Level1/ESMRN5L1.001/", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "Download this dataset through a directory map"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Access the dataset landing page from the GES DISC website.", "downloadURL": "https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datacollection/ESMRN5L1_001.html", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "This dataset's landing page"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "N5 ESMR Inventory", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Nimbus/N5_ESMR_Inventory.xlsx", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "View documentation related to this dataset"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Nimbus 5 Data Catalog", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/repository/Mission/Nimbus/3.3_Product_Documentation/3.3.5_Product_Quality/DataCatalogNimbus5.tar.gz", "format": "GZ", "mediaType": "application/gzip", "title": "View documentation related to this dataset"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Nimbus 5 ESMR Report", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/repository/Mission/Nimbus/3.7_Validation/ESMR_NimbusE_19730023610.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "View documentation related to this dataset"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Nimbus 5 User's Guide", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/repository/Mission/Nimbus/3.3_Product_Documentation/3.3.5_Product_Quality/N5_Users_Guide.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "View this dataset's user's guide"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "README Document", "downloadURL": "https://acdisc.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/Nimbus5_ESMR_Level1/ESMRN5L1.001/doc/README.ESMRN5L1.001.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "View this dataset's read me document"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Use the Earthdata Search to find and retrieve data sets across multiple data centers.", "downloadURL": "https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search?q=ESMRN5L1", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "Download this dataset through Earthdata Search"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Images/ESMRN5L1_001.png", "format": "PNG", "mediaType": "image/png", "title": "Get a related visualization"}], "identifier": "C1274246684-GES_DISC", "issued": "2014-05-12", "keyword": ["earth-science", "microwave", "spectral-engineering"], "landingPage": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov:443/search/concepts/C1274246684-GES_DISC.html", "language": ["en-US"], "modified": "2025-03-31", "programCode": ["026:001"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/GCDC/GESDISC"}, "spatial": "-180.0 -90.0 180.0 90.0", "temporal": "1972-12-11T00:00:00Z/1977-05-16T23:59:59.999Z", "theme": ["Nimbus", "geospatial"], "title": "ESMR/Nimbus-5 Level 1 Calibrated Brightness Temperature V001 (ESMRN5L1) at GES DISC"}
