Summary
Abstract:
The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instrument was flown on the first and subsequent TIROS-N series of polar orbiting spacecraft beginning in October of 1978. The satellite orbits the earth about 14 times each day and consecutive equatorial crossings are separated by about 25 degrees of longitude. The AVHRR generates data in three different modes, and data from each mode is ...
 Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: Ground Condition Pricing is dependent on customer order specifications. Please contact NCDC for information on fees and terms for retrieving the Data Set or Product.
