Antarctic IR Composite Satellite Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/4.815

Summary
Composite Infrared (IR) imagery of the Antarctic Region collected during the
ACE-1 period via McIDAS-X and converted to GIF image format. These images
consist of polar stereographic projection of the South Pole, 20 km resolution,
collected every 3 hours. This imagery contains infrared data composited from
all available satellites (GOES and POES) during a 3-hourly interval, produced
by the University of Wisconsin's Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC).
Digital McIDAS Area format files (10 km resolution) were collected every 3
hours at OFPS from the SSEC from which these GIF images were created.
