National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) is responsible for verification and validation of the NOAA polar weather satellite instrument data. As part of our verification system, a graphic system is used to monitor very large instrument data arrays. Creating trending plots and reports for over 3500, instrument Science and Housekeeping parameters every orbit. These satellite plots / reports are available, in a searchable system, on a daily basis for the AVHRR, HIRS, AMSU_A, AMSU_B instruments. The user community can access this data utilizing software provided at the Web site, http://www.osdpd.noaa.gov/PSB/PPP/CALIB/klm/index.html. The above data are viewable in three (3) different resolutions:
1. Medium - Two minute values throughout an orbit (Except HIRS, 256 seconds) for most recent orbit.
2. Orbital Value - One value per orbit showing sixty-one (61) consecutive, most recent orbit values.
3. Day Average - An average of fourteen (14) orbits per twenty-four (24) hours for the most recent sixty-one (61) days.
