DMSP OLS Visible and Infrared Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/490.009

Summary
This data set contains the 2.5 km resolution visible and infrared channel data
from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan
System (OLS) instrument on the F-17, F-18, and F-19 satellites during the
ORCAS (The O2/N2 Ratio and CO2 Airborne Southern Ocean Study) Project. The
*_ucar files are of most use for ORCAS. These data are daily tar files that
contain data files in the Terrascan Data Format (TDF).
