Summary
Abstract: This data set includes AVHRR/HRPT (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer/High Resolution Picture Transmission) brightness temperatures and reflectances over the NASA Cold Land Processes Field Experiment (CLPX) Large Regional Study Area (LRSA) (NW corner: 42°N, 108.5°W, SE corner: 38.5°N 104°W). Data are gridded to the LRSA at 1.1 km (or 30 arc-second) resolution. Data were collected between November 2001 and May 2003. Reflectance files contain flat binary rasters of 2-byte unsigned integers representing albedo. The brightness temperature files contain 2-byte unsigned integers representing interpolated temperatures in tenths of degrees Kelvin.

Project
Quality The AVHRR sensor was designed to view cold space and one or more internal warm blackbodies for each scan sequence while in orbit. In general, radiometric calibration involves exposing a radiometer to sources of radiation that have been calibrated against primary or secondary standards and determining a relationship between the output of the radiometer and the intensity of the incident radiation ...
