AVHRR Imagery

The Ocean Remote Sensing Group receives real-time AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resoluton Radiometer) data from the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites. These broadcast data are received via a 5-m dish operated by the JHU/APL Space Department's Satellite Communications Facility. These data are then processed automatically in real-time and posted as various products on the web.

  • Sea Surface Temperature. Real-time sea surface temperature imagery off the east coast of North America and the Gulf of Mexico.
  • Overviews. Real-time graphical representations of area coverage and gray-scale versions of recently acquired AVHRR imagery.
  • Dynatrack. Real-time color-composite imagery over various land areas of the United States generated from AVHRR imagery.
  • Hurricanes. Hurricane imagery generated from AVHRR data. This site is very active during hurricane season. Archive imagery is also available.
  • Image Gallery. Selected AVHRR imagery.
