The top of the atmosphere fluxes have been measured by the Earth Radiation
Budget Experiment (ERBE) satellites from 1985 to 1999 and the Cloud and the Earth's
Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellites from March 2000 to the present.
«The precision achieved by the most advanced generation of radiation
budget satellites is indicated by the planetary
energy imbalance measured by the ongoing CERES (Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) instrument (Loeb et al., 2009), which finds a measured 5 - yr - mean imbalance of 6.5 W m − 2 (Loeb et al.,
