Summary

Abstract: The Infrared Global Geostationary Composite data set contains global
composite images from the infrared channels of four weather satellites
in geosynchronous orbit. Light areas in the image correspond to
relatively cold regions (typically clouds), and dark areas correspond
to relatively warm regions. Data are available for daily granules at
half-hourly intervals.
