https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/82.161

Summary
The NOAA POES ATOVS AMSU Data is one of several satellite data sets collected
by the National Center for Atmospheric Reserach/Earth Observation Laboratory
(NCAR/EOL) as part of the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) project.
Included in the data set are Advanced TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder
(ATOVS) Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) and Advanced Microwave
Sounding Unit-B (AMSU-B) aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES). The data
cover the period from 1 June to 30 September 2004 and include data from the
NOAA-15, NOAA-16 and NOAA-17 satellites.
