  • Abstract/Summary
    • Summary The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is a broad-band, four or five channel (depending on the model) scanner, sensing in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This sensor is carried aboard NOAA's Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), beginning with TIROS-N in 1978. High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) data is full resolution image data transmitted to a ground station as it is collected.
