Climate Data Record of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Polar Pathfinder (APP), 1982-Present
The AVHRR Polar Pathfinder (APP) product is a fundamental Climate Data Record (CDR) comprised of calibrated and navigated AVHRR channel data (reflectances and brightness temperatures), viewing and illumination geometry (sensor scan angle, solar zenith angle, and sun-sensor relative azimuth angle), U...
