Description
The dataset is a reanalysis of historical data from the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) sensor onboard the NOAA polar orbiting satellite constellation, that have been improved using extensive calibration, validation and other information to yield a consistent research quality time series for global climate studies. At 0.05 degrees per pixel (approximately 4 km/pixel), this dataset provides a global spatial coverage ranging from October 1981 - 2009. Our data holdings include descending passes (nighttime).
The data is available as monthly and weekly composites, as well as a monthly climatology, at a spatial resolution of 0.05 degrees. The geographic coverage extends for the entire globe.
