GCIP/EOP Land Characterization: EDC 1-km AVHRR Project https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/21.074 Summary The data set is composed of 5-channel, 10-bit, raw AVHRR data, at 1.1-km resolution (at nadir) for every daily afternoon pass over all land and coastal zones using data from NOAA's polar-orbiting TIROS. Initially the data were to be collected continuously for 18 consecutive months beginning April 1, 1992, and continuing through September 30, 1993, subsequently the period has been extended to September 30, 1996.
