Summary
Abstract: General information about NOAA-AVHRR can be queried by interested
users in the category 'Sensor' and 'Source'. Some basic information is
given hereafter.

The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) onboard NOAA 6,
8, 10 and TIROS-N measured in four spectral bands, while the NOAA 7, 9
and 11 are measured in 5 bands. The primary objective of the AVHRR

Project
Quality This was a feasibility study to test the potential recovery of palynomorphs in
the area of interest for the SHALDRIL project.

For this project, piston core samples were evaluated. The recovery exceeded
our expectations and a diverse palynomorph assemblage was recovered (diverse
both in age and in term of environmental significance).
Access Constraints The staff at the Antarctic Research Facility in Florida was extremely helpful
and provided all data on time.
Use Constraints All data are currently being published and will be accessible broadly soon.
