The AVHRR quick-looks service: AVHRR quick-looks from Tromso Satellite Station (Norway) coverage area distributed in near-real time
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Tromso Satellite Station (TSS) is Norway's national receiving station for data from polar orbiting satellites.
Description
TSS location is ideal for reception of data from polar orbiting satellites. The area covered by TSS includes the entire Arctic from West Greenland to the Russian Taymyr peninsula, as well as the Northern part of Europe and larger parts of Russia.
Since 1973 Tromso Satellite Station (TSS) has received data from the NOAA satellites. Using the national part of the internet, Uninett, TSS has established a near real-time processing and distribution system for NOAA AVHRR data. Quick looks, raw data set, geo-corrected data sets, SST and weather images are available for near real-time delivery to customers in Norway and other countries that can be reached using Internet or ISDN.

The processing and distribution time for these products are typically 1-3 hours. The AVHRR data for the entire coverage area of TSS is also stored on optical disks. This archive is a part of the ESA TIROS Co-ordinated Network.
The NOAA AVHRR QL Service service is based on WWW or FTP and the quick-looks are a view of a whole pass, with the data resampled to a spatial resolution of 3 km.
