The data collection also contains quality flags, dark current analyses of the data, orbital information, and housekeeping data.\n\nThe data were originally created on IBM 360 machines and archived on magnetic tapes. The data have been restored from the tapes and are now archived on disk in their original IBM binary file format. Each file contains about one orbit of data. The data files consist of 100 4-byte word records which are blocked with up to 25 records. The first record is the header record, followed by a series of data records, and ended with two trailer records. A typical orbit file is about 70 kB in size.\n\nThe BUV instrument was operational from April 10, 1970 until May 6, 1977. In July 1972 the Nimbus-4 solar power array partially failed such that BUV operations were curtailed. Thus data collected in the later years was increasingly sparse, particularly in the equatorial region.\n\nThis product was previously available from the NSSDC with the identifier ESAC-00055 (old ID 70-025A-05B).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Access the data via HTTPS.", "downloadURL": "https://acdisc.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/Nimbus4_BUV_Level1/BUVN4L1RUT.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/BUVN4L1RUT_001.html", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "This dataset's landing page"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "N4 BUV Inventory", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/public/project/Nimbus/N4_BUV_Inventory.xlsx", "format": "HTML", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "View documentation related to this dataset"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Nimbus 4 BUV User's Guide", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/repository/Mission/Nimbus/3.3_Product_Documentation/3.3.5_Product_Quality/N4_BUV_UsersGuide_19780013751.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "View this dataset's user's guide"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Nimbus 4 Data Catalog", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/repository/Mission/Nimbus/3.3_Product_Documentation/3.3.5_Product_Quality/DataCatalogNimbus4.tar.gz", "format": "GZ", "mediaType": "application/gzip", "title": "View documentation related to this dataset"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Nimbus 4 User's Guide", "downloadURL": "https://docserver.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/repository/Mission/Nimbus/3.3_Product_Documentation/3.3.5_Product_Quality/NimbusIVUG.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/Nimbus4_BUV_Level1/BUVN4L1RUT.001/doc/README.BUVN4L1RUT.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=BUVN4L1RUT", "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/BUVN4L1RUT_001.png", "format": "PNG", "mediaType": "image/png", "title": "Get a related visualization"}], "identifier": "C1273652150-GES_DISC", "issued": "2015-12-03", "keyword": ["earth-science", "spectral-engineering", "ultraviolet-wavelengths"], "landingPage": "https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov:443/search/concepts/C1273652150-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 -80.1 180.0 80.1", "temporal": "1970-04-10T00:00:00Z/1977-05-06T23:59:59.999Z", "theme": ["Nimbus", "geospatial"], "title": "BUV/Nimbus-4 Level 1 Radiance Data V001 (BUVN4L1RUT) at GES DISC"}
