This data set is from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). Data consists of pixel- resolution infrared (IR) brightness temperatures using equivalent blackbody temperatures, merged globally from all available geostationary satellites: GOES-8 and -10, METEOSTAT-5 and -7, and GMS. Archived data is from October 1999 to the present. Data covers all longitudes around the world and most major areas of human activity. The latitudes covered are, however, limited to 60N to 60S. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. data set C00377 GOES IMAGER INFRARED THERMOMETERS DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCDC 19991001 Present Ground Condition In work As Needed -180.0 180.0 60.0 -60.0 DIF Discipline Keyword Thesaurus Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Meteorology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Climatology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Weather Earth Sciences > Ocean > Oceanography ISO 19115 Topic Category ClimatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 004 Elevation 006 Environment 007 Oceans 014 GCMD Sciences Keyword Valids EARTH SCIENCE > Spectral/Engineering > Infrared Wavelengths > Brightness Temperature GCMD Location Valids North America South America Eurasia Africa Australia Atlantic Ocean Pacific Ocean Indian Ocean GCMD Location Valids Stratosphere Troposphere Land Surface Sea Surface None None Not provided Unknown Completeness information not available.
