Abstract:
The available data set comprises NOAA-AVHRR data plus associated TOVS data and
browse products; on-line access is offered by means of the Intelligent
Satellite Data Information System ISIS, a service of the DFD within DLR at
Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.
Coverage of NOAA-HRPT Raw Data includes Europe and North Africa. The images
consist of 5 spectral bands. Spatial resolution is 1.1 km at nadir and
... is
degraded to approximately 6 km towards the scan margins. Dynamic range
(radiometric resolution) of the data provided is 10 bit.
The datasets have the size of 2048 samples, the number of lines is depending on
the duration of the passes; up to 130 MByte. The DFD acquires up to 6
overpasses daily. For further information look at the `infoboard` on ISIS.
The data are available as:
- Digital Quicklooks (800 kByte); online; Postscript-Format (bands 2 and 4 for
daytime data, and bands 3 and 4 for night-time data).
- Original digital products (up to 130 MByte); on magnetic tape or Exabyte.
Access to the data:
On-line access to data and information is provided by the Intelligent Satellite
Data Information System ISIS, developed by DLR as a client / server
configuration. It is representing the interface of DLR-DFD to users, providing
an easy access to catalogue-, inventory-, browse- and general textual
information. The URl is: http://isis.dlr.de/
Relevant procedures to access this system are described in a separate entry in
the category 'Data Center' and may be queried by interested people. Access
presumes the installation of the client configuration which can be easily done
by the user on his computer configuration.
