The Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) product at TOA, including the incoming solar irradiance, reflected solar and emitted earth radiation flux, is available from observations of FY-3 series satellites. The former is from the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) measurement of the Solar Irritation Monitor (SIM), the latter two parameters are mainly from Earth Radiation Monitor (ERM) with cloud observation from Visible and InfraRed Radiometer (VIRR), which are all onboard FY-3A/B/C satellites. The ERB product at TOA may be used as the input to generate the ERB product at surface.
