| Description | This digital data set contains selected NOAA 6, 7, 8 and 9
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery of
Alaska; AVHRR is carried on NOAA's polar orbiting satellites.
Spatial referencing is 1.1 km at nadir. Data source is National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The data set
includes 47 records with estimated growth rate of 100 records per
year. Storage required varies by storage medium and selected
scene. The file structure is sequential. Data are available
on 9-track, 800 bpi, 1600 bpi, 6250 bpi, unlabeled, unblocked,
BCD, fixed record length tape. Subsets and customs formats are
available. Limited documentation is available. Data is organized
by 7 1/2 ' or 15 ' quads. Uses include fuel mapping, vegetation
monitoring, large area mosaic, and monitoring of ice/snow dynamics.
