AVHRR High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) Infrared Imagery

        The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) - High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT)  instrument collects data in various spectral channels that are capable of measuring emitted and/or reflected energy at various spectral wavelengths. In this way, by using  1.1 km resolution AVHRR channel 3 (mid-InfraRed) data, it is possible to measure the temperature of features and allow for the discrimination of, for example, land and cloud patterns.
