NOAA AVHRR Satellite Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/354.021

Summary
Satellite images archived in KuDA are derived from either the NOAA or the Dept
of Defense polar orbiting weather satellites. This dataset consists of the
NOAA series, which includes images from four satellites which were
transmitting data during 1991 (NOAA-9, 10, 11, 12). Each of these satellites
carried a sensor called the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR),
which is one source of images for KuDA (the other source is the Department of
Defense's OLS). All data are in TDF format.
