Arctic Visible Band Satellite Composite Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.413

Summary
This dataset contains visible (~0.65 microns) Arctic satellite composite
imagery. The Arctic visible composites are created every hour for a total of
24 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.
