AVHRR Pathfinder Atmosphere (PATMOS) Climate Dataset

A reprocessing of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Pathfinder atmosphere (PATMOS) results in a 20-year global climate dataset providing information on the earth's radiation budget. This dataset is the result of collaborative work between NOAA/NESDIS and NASA. The measurements from NOAA-7, NOAA-9, NOAA-11, and NOAA-14 satellites are combined in this dataset.
