abstract:The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) is a space-borne sensor embarked on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) family of polar orbiting platforms (POES). AVHRR instruments measure the reflectance of the Earth in 5 relatively wide (by today's standards) spectral bands.
SeaWinds data combined with other weather-watching data, like NOAA's AdvancedVeryHighResolutionRadiometer, paint a picture favorable to hurricanes this season, Liu said.
