Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer: an image sensor on an earth satellite.
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, a satellite used to map the Earth with very large pixels (approximately 1 km square).
The dvanced ery igh esolution adiometer is a broad-band, four or five channel (depending on the model) scanner, sensing in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.. MORE
AVHRR - the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. An instrument capable of detecting small changes in emitted radiation over very small areas. AVHRR can detect very small temperature variations over large areas (such as variations in sea surface temperatures of a little as 0.5 C) or small areas of high variations (such as forest fires or farmers illegally burning corn stubble in their fields!). AVHRR senses radiation in seven visible and infra-red bands. See also Radiometer.
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. A sensor carried by the US National Ocean and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) satellites which oceanographers use to measure Sea Surface Temperature (SST). The pixel size is about 1km and accuracy about +/-0.6° C. The NOAA satellites broadcast the data continuously, so any groundstation that can see the satellite can receive the data. Several satellite passes per day are tracked, received, processed and archived at WASTAC in Perth, CSIRO in Hobart and ACRES in Alice Springs.
Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer. A meteorological satellite with two bands that is used for large area Earth
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. This sensor, located on a NOAA satellite detected radiation in Infrared wavelengths.
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. Carried on NOAA polar orbiting satellites. Spatial resolution 1.1 x 1.1 km.
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. An American sensor flown by NOAA in various forms since the mid 70s.
stands for Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, the imagery produced by NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) satellites. Pixel size is 1km x 1km for local area coverage (LAC) and 2km x 2km for global area coverage (GAC).
an instrument that flies on NOAA polar orbiting satellites. It measures radiation at five different wavelengths: one visible, one reflective near-infrared, one middle infrared, and two thermal infrared.
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. A multispectral satellite based sensor.
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. Main sensor on U.S. polar orbiting satellites.
Acronym for dvanced ery igh esolution adiometer. It is the main sensor on the U.S. polar orbiting satellites.
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, carried aboard the NOAA range of polar-orbiting satellites. The AVHRR is a very old instrument design, so the term "very high resolution" must be taken in that context! See our AVHRR document for more details.
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. The multispectral imaging sensor carried aboard the NOAA-series polar orbiting satellites.
Abbreviation for Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer.
Advance Very High Resolution Radiometer - the sensors that this series of satellite uses to measure the reflected electromagnetic radiation of various wavelengths.
The AVHRR is a broadband, 4 or 5 channel scanner (depending on the model) sensing in the visible, near-infrared and thermal infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This sensor is carried on NOAA's Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), beginning with TIROS-N in 1978.
Acronym for Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. It is the main sensor on the polar orbiting satellites.
