Arctic Longwave Infrared Satellite Composite Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.397

Summary
This dataset contains longwave infrared (~12.0 microns) Arctic satellite
composite imagery. The Arctic composites are made every three hours (synoptic
hour) creating a total of eight images per day. Most input satellite
observations included in the composite were procured within 15 minutes of the
top of the synoptic hour. No image is more than +/- 50 minutes from the top of
the synoptic hour. Geostationary and Polar orbiting satellites used to
generate the composite can include: Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental
Satellites (POES) / National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) -East and -West,
METEOSAT, Meteorological Satellites (MTSAT), FY-2, Kalpana-1, and Terra/Aqua.
