NOAA CDR GRIDSAT-B1: Geostationary IR Channel Brightness Temperature (NOAA/CDR/GRIDSAT-B1/V2)

Version V2

This dataset provides a high quality Climate Data
Record (CDR) of global infrared measurements from geostationary satellites.

The geostationary satellite data (GridSat-B1) provides data from 3
channels: the CDR-quality infrared window (IRWIN) channel (near 11μm),
the visible channel (near 0.6μm) and the infrared water vapor (IRWVP)
channel (near 6.7μm). The GridSat-B1 data is projected onto a global
0.07 degree latitude equal-angle grid with date coverage spanning from
1980-present. This data is sourced from the 3-hourly International Satellite
Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) B1 data. The satellites included in this
dataset with their longitudinal coverage over time can be seen here.
In regions of overlap the CDR methodology merges satellites by selecting
the nadir-most observations for each grid point.
