Abstract:

A reprocessing of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Pathfinder atmosphere (PATMOS) results in a 20-year global climate dataset providing information on the earth's radiation budget. This dataset is the result of collaborative work between NOAA/NESDIS and NASA. The measurements from NOAA-7, NOAA-9, NOAA-11, and NOAA-14 satellites are combined in this dataset.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
