Entry ID:
gov.noaa.ncdc.C00629
Summary
Abstract:
The "Global Tropical Cyclone ISCCP B1 Satellite Observations" (TC-B1) data consist of raw satellite observations derived from the ISCCP B1 data centered on historical tropical cyclones (TC). The data derive from the global constellation of geostationary satellites (GOES, GMS and Meteosat series) spanning 1983 through the present. The data are available at 3-hour intervals and are gridded to ...
 Purpose: To provide a comprehensive set of satellite data for worldwide tropical cyclone research. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: data set CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: Ground condition
