Summary
Abstract: The THIRN4IMCH67 data product consists of daily montages of brightness temperatures on 70 mm photofacsimile film strips from the Nimbus-4 Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer measured at 6.7 microns. Daytime and nighttime orbital swaths are displayed in strips, each corresponding to a distance approximately from pole to pole and a width from horizon to horizon. The ground resolution of 22.6 km ... View entire text

Purpose: These images can be used to supplement the radiance data files from the THIRN2L2CH67 data product.
