Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Web Subsetting Tool
 Entry ID: 01-avhrr_subsetting_tool-00

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is a broad-band, four or
five channel (depending on the model) scanner, sensing in the visible,
near-infrared, and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
This sensor is carried on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
(NOAA's) Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), beginning with TIROS-N
in 1978.

Quality The AVHRR sensor provides global (pole to pole) on board
collection of data from all spectral channels. Each pass of the
satellite provides a 2399 km wide swath. The satellite orbits the
Earth 14 times each day from 833 km above its surface.
