AVHRR Pathfinder Atmosphere (PATMOS) Climate Dataset
|
|
A reprocessing of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)
Pathfinder atmosphere (PATMOS) results in a 20-year global climate
dataset providing information on the earth's radiation budget. This
dataset is the result of collaborative work between NOAA/NESDIS and
NASA. The measurements from NOAA-7, NOAA-9, NOAA-11, and NOAA-14
satellites are combined in this dataset.
