AVHRR Raw Data from the Alice Springs Satellite Reception Facility, 1991 -

Raw data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensors on NOAA polar orbiting satellites, received at the Alice Springs station run by ACRES. These data are used later for computation of parameters such as sea surface temperature (SST). The data start from April 1986. The data provide complete coverage of continental Australia, from approx. 4000 satellite passes as at Oct. 1998. The data are stored on Exabyte tapes in Hobart.

本数据集的原始数据源自美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）极轨卫星搭载的先进甚高分辨率辐射计（Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, AVHRR），由ACRES运营的艾利斯斯普林斯地面站接收。该批数据后续将用于海面温度（Sea Surface Temperature, SST）等参数的计算，其采集起始时间为1986年4月。截至1998年10月，该数据集基于约4000次卫星过境观测，完整覆盖澳大利亚大陆全域。所有数据均存储于霍巴特（Hobart）的Exabyte磁带中。
