Raw data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensors on NOAAA 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.
