| Abstract |
The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is one of the instruments aboard the NOAA Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES) (more info here). The objective of the AVHRR is to provide radiance data for investigation of clouds, land-water boundaries, snow and ice extent, ice or snow melt inception, day and night cloud distribution, temperatures of radiating surfaces, and sea surface temperature. The data also allows studying and monitoring vegetation conditions in ecosystems, including forests, tundra, and grasslands with applications including agricultural assessment, land cover mapping, production of large-area image maps (e.g., country maps, continental maps, world maps), and evaluation of regional and continental snow cover.
