Description

This data set (NmHRIR3G) consists of daily composites constructed from Nimbus 1, Nimbus 2, and Nimbus 3 satellites High Resolution Infrared Radiometer (HRIR) data for the region between 60 N and 60 S. Measurements were obtained during 1964, 1966, and 1969. Data are available as GeoTIFFs and browse images. For the HDF5 formatted version of these data, see the <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/NIMBUS/NmHRIR3H">Nimbus High Resolution Infrared Radiometer Remapped Digital Data Daily L3, HDF5</a> data set.
