Abstract
Abstract The Satellite Data Services Division (SDSD) maintains a digital browse file of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data. The AVHRR instrument is aboard the TIROS‐N series of spacecraft. The instrument has five channels for viewing the earth, two channels are in the visible part of the spectrum and three are in the infrared portion of the spectrum. Selected data from this instrument are converted to digital browse files and loaded on the Image Library and Browse System (1LABS). The ILABS allows SDSD personnel to review data before the digital tapes are sent to satisfy the user's order. It also allows hardcopy images be sent to users. Working in conjunction with the ILABS is the Electronic Catalog System (ECS). The ECS is able to be directly accessed by the user community and it allows the users to find data in their areas of interest. Once the data are found, then that data can be ordered from the SDSD.
