Brief description
Raw data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensors on NOAA polar orbiting satellites, received at the Met Bureau's Darwin Satellite Reception Facility. These data are used later for computation of parameters such as sea surface temperature (SST). The data start from August 1992. The dataset contains approx. 4600 satellite passes as at Oct. 1998. The data are stored on Exabyte tapes in Hobart.Lineage

Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded
Statement: Raw data originate from the AVHRR sensor on various NOAA polar orbiting satellites, received at the station in Darwin. Processing is carried out in the CMR Remote Sensing Facility in Hobart to produce images as required.
