AVHRR Land Pathfinder Data Set (AVHRR)

The Pathfinder AVHRR Land data sets are global, multichannel, land surface data derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) on the NOAA/TIROS operational meteorological satellites (NOAA-7, -9, and -11) which provide a continuous daily and composite data set from July 1981 through the present. These data, when complete, will enable studies of global vegetation and surface characteristics over more than a decade. Every effort has been made to provide a consistently processed data record by cross-calibrating instruments and minimizing changes to the processing algorithm during the processing of the 1981 to present data.

Global Change Data and Information System (GCDIS)

The Committee on Earth and Environmental Sciences (CEES), as prescribed by the Global Change Research Act of 1990, established a program whereby the United States Global Research Program (USGCRP) members committed to work together with each other, academia, and the international community to make it as easy as possible for researchers and others to access and use global change data and information. Toward this end, agencies participating in the USGCRP organized the Global Change Data and Information System (GCDIS) to take full advantage of the mission resources and responsibilities of each agency and to link the services of these data and information resources to each other.

Solar Terrestrial Dispatch (STD)

The Solar Terrestrial Dispatch (STD) provides information regarding the state of the Sun and its effect on the Earth and the space environment near the Earth. The numerous services provided here are made possible through cooperation with the University of Lethbridge , who we gratefully acknowledge. STD's primary responsibility is to provide support and time-critical solar and geophysical information to institutions and individuals who require this information. For this purpose, we monitor solar and geophysical conditions in real-time and provide e-mail distribution of numerous services. We also supply many available solar and geophysical services through Anonymous FTP. and several finger servers: finger solar@solar.uleth.ca.
