What composites periods are available?
Currently, composite periods are available from April 1992 to December 1995. There will be a data gap period during the time that NOAA-11’s orbit decayed to the point that the local overpass times were so late in the afternoon that severe sun angles were encountered which made the data scientifically questionable. Processing of NOAA-14 data has begun and the composites will be placed at all of the distribution sites when each 10-day period is completed.
