- Description
- The SST (AVHRR Image) file type is associated with satellite imagery, particularly from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor, which is carried on NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) satellites. These files contain sea surface temperature (SST) data, which is crucial for monitoring oceanic and climatic conditions. The SST data is used in various applications, including weather forecasting, climate research, and environmental monitoring. The files are typically utilized by scientists, researchers, and meteorologists who analyze the Earth's surface temperature patterns and their impact on global climate systems.
- A PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
