AVHRR Level 1B scene (Central and Southeastern United States)

back to Satellite Product List Product Description The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) provides four- to six-band multispectral data from the NOAA polar-orbiting satellite series. There is fairly continuous global coverage since June 1979, with morning and afternoon acquisitions available. The resolution is 1.1 kilometer at nadir. The number of available bands will depend on the satellite. Satellite information is listed here. Available from the EROS archive: Georegistered (Level 1b) Single-Scene AVHRR is radiometrically and geometrically corrected single-scene AVHRR data that is processed according to user-specified parameters such as projection, resampling method, and pixel size. The data is available in binary (8- or 10-bit) format, and is distributed on DVD. In addition to the AVHRR data listed above, the USGS also produces a series of derived AVHRR NDVI composites and Global Land Cover Characterization (GLCC) data. Raw (Level 1b) data consists of a single scene that was collected by a single AVHRR satellite on a specific date and time. The approximate scene size is 2400 x 6400 kilometers (1491 x 4000 miles). Public distribution is via the NOAA Satellite Active Archive.
