Description
The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) 1-km Orbital
Segments data set is a component of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) AVHRR Pathfinder Program and contains
global coverage of land masses at 1-kilometer resolution.
The data set is the result of an international effort to acquire,
process, and distribute AVHRR data of the entire global land surface
to meet the needs of the international science community. The
orbital segments are comprised of raw AVHRR scenes consisting of
5-channel, 10-bit, AVHRR data at 1.1-km resolution at nadir. The raw
data are used to produce vegetation index composites; to support fire
detection and cloud screening activities; to support research in
atmospheric correction; to develop algorithms; and to support a host of
research activities that may require the inclusion of raw AVHRR data.
