The images contain orbital nighttime (3.5 to 4.1 microns) brightness temperature values showing cloud cover and the Earth's surface temperature. Each orbital swath picture is gridded with geographic coordinates and covers a distance approximately from the north pole to the south pole. The images are saved as JPEG 2000 digital files. About 7 days of images are archived into a TAR file. The processing techniques used to produce the data set and a full description of the data are contained in section 3.4.1 of the "Nimbus I Users' Guide."
The HRIR instrument was designed to perform two major functions: first to map the Earth's cloud cover at night to complement the television coverage during the daytime portion of the orbit, and second to measure the temperature of cloud tops and terrain features. The HRIR instrument was launched on the Nimbus-1 satellite and was operational from August 28, 1964 through September 22, 1964.
This product was previously available from the NSSDC with the identifier ESAD-00135 (old ID 64-052A-03B). Version Description: These images can be used to supplement the level-1 radiance data files from the HRIRN1L1 data product.completedNASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/GCDC/GESDISC > Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (formerly Goddard DAAC), Global Change Data Center, Earth Sciences Division, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASAhttps://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/httpsNASA GES DISC WebsitecustodianpointOfContactURLContentType: VisualizationURL Type: GET RELATED VISUALIZATIONBrowseNimbusprojectEARTH SCIENCE > SPECTRAL/ENGINEERING > INFRARED WAVELENGTHS > BRIGHTNESS TEMPERATURE > NONE > NONE > NONEthemeGCMDGEOGRAPHIC REGION > GLOBAL > NONE > NONE > NONE > NONEplaceCLOUD COVERNimbus-1platformHRIR > High-Resolution Infrared RadiometerinstrumentThe Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) data use policy for NASA data can be accessed at https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/data-use-policy.
