Brief description
Raw data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensors on NOAA polar orbiting satellites, received at the Alice Springs station run by ACRES. These data are used later for computation of parameters such as sea surface temperature (SST). The data start from April 1986. The data provide complete coverage of continental Australia, from approx. 4000 satellite passes as at Oct. 1998. The data are stored on Exabyte tapes in Hobart.Lineage

Statement: Raw data originate from the AVHRR sensor on various NOAA polar orbiting satellites, received at the station in Alice Springs. Processing is carried out in the CMR Remote Sensing Facility in Hobart to produce files in the same format as data received in Hobart.
