- 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 WEBP file is an image saved in the WebP (pronounced "Weppy") raster image format developed by Google for web graphics. It is designed to reduce image file sizes over standard JPEG compression while maintaining the same or similar quality. WEBP files allow images to be downloaded more quickly.
