Intercomparison of preliminary Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) flux estimates and geostationary satellite multi-spectral 'VAS' radiance measurementsResults are reported from a preliminary study to evaluate the level of correlation and, if possible, establish relationships between the spectral radiances sensed by the GOES 6 satellite VISSR Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) and the ERBS longwave sensor. A data set for February 7, 1985 was selected which was scanned with both sensors flying over the region of the Gulf of Mexico. Techniques applied to enhance the equivalence of the data are delineated. Regression equations were applied to assess the levels of correlations for each subsatellite point compared.
