The NOAA-9 Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) scanner measured broadband shortwave; longwave; and total radiances from February 1985 through January 1987. These scanner radiances are reprocessed using the more recent Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) unfiltering algorithm. The scene information; including cloud properties; required for reprocessing is derived using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data on board NOAA-9; while no imager data were used in the original ERBE unfiltering. The reprocessing increases the NOAA-9 ERBE scanner unfiltered longwave radiances by 1.4%-2.0% during daytime and 0.2%-0.3% during nighttime relative to those derived from the ERBE unfiltering algorithm. Similarly; the scanner unfiltered shortwave radiances increase by ˜1% for clear ocean and land and decrease for all-sky ocean; land; and snow/ice by ˜1%. The resulting NOAA-9 ERBE scanner unfiltered radiances are then compared with NOAA-9 nonscanner irradiances by integrating the ERBE scanner radiance over the nonscanner field of view. The comparison indicates that the integrated scanner radiances are larger by 0.9% for shortwave and 0.7% smaller for longwave.A sensitivity study shows that the one-standard-deviation uncertainties in the agreement are ±2.5%; ±1.2%; and ±1.8% for the shortwave; nighttime longwave; and daytime longwave irradiances; respectively. The NOAA-9 and ERBS nonscanner irradiances are also compared using 2 years of data. The comparison indicates that the NOAA-9 nonscanner shortwave; and daytime longwave irradiances are 0.3% larger; 0.6%; smaller; and; 0.4%; larger; respectively. The longer observational record provided by the ERBS nonscanner plays a critical role in tying the CERES-like NOAA-9ERBEscanner dataset from the mid-1980s to the present-day CERES scanner data record. © 2014 American Meteorological Society;
