AVHRR Global 1K = Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Mosaics 1995 - 1996

The global land 1-km data set project represents an international effort to acquire, archive, process, and distribute 1-km AVHRR data of the entire global land surface in order to meet the needs of the international science community. A network of 29 high resolution picture transmission (HRPT) stations, along with data recorded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), acquired daily global land coverage from 1 April, 1992 through September 30, 1993, with the project subsequently extended through 1996. The six major participants (NOAA, ESA, USGS, NASA, CSIRO, and SMC) coordinate HRPT receiving stations to acquire and compile the data set. NOAA coordinates two HRPT receiving stations, Gilmore Creek, Alaska and Wallops Island, Virginia, and schedules the satellite's recorders to obtain local area coverage (LAC) AVHRR 1-km data over areas not covered by the other HRPT receiving stations.

This collection of over 40,000 AVHRR images has been archived and made available for distribution by the United States Geological Survey, EROS Center and the European Space Agency.

全球1公里分辨率数据集项目是一项国际性协作工程，旨在获取、归档、处理并分发覆盖全球陆面的1公里分辨率先进甚高分辨率辐射计（Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer，AVHRR）数据，以满足国际科学界的相关需求。该项目依托29座高分辨率图像传输（High Resolution Picture Transmission，HRPT）站网络，结合美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration，NOAA）记录的数据，于1992年4月1日至1993年9月30日每日获取全球陆面覆盖数据，后续项目周期延长至1996年。六个核心参与方——美国国家海洋和大气管理局、欧洲空间局（European Space Agency，ESA）、美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey，USGS）、美国国家航空航天局（National Aeronautics and Space Administration，NASA）、澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation，CSIRO）及SMC——协作运营HRPT接收站以采集并汇编该数据集。其中，美国国家海洋和大气管理局负责协调阿拉斯加州吉尔克里克与弗吉尼亚州沃洛普斯岛的两座HRPT接收站，并调度卫星记录仪，以获取其他HRPT接收站未覆盖区域的局地区域覆盖（Local Area Coverage，LAC）AVHRR 1公里数据。
该数据集包含超过4万幅AVHRR图像，已完成归档，并由美国地质调查局地球资源观测与科学中心（EROS Center）与欧洲空间局对外提供分发服务。
