What Does ERBS Stand For?

ERBS stands for Earth Radiation Budget Satellite

The Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) is a scientific satellite developed to measure the Earth's radiation budget, which includes the energy received from the sun and the energy radiated back to space. Launched in 1984 as part of NASA's Earth Sciences program, ERBS has provided critical data on atmospheric composition, climate dynamics, and the Earth's energy balance, significantly contributing to our understanding of global climate change and improving climate models.
