NASA's Nimbus-6 satellite captured these images of infrared brightness temperatures from August 17, 1975, through March 4, 1976. The data product consists of black and white images on 70 mm film strips from the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS), with 10 channels per orbit and an 18-step gray scale. The HIRS instrument measured radiances in five spectral regions, including the 15-micrometer CO2 band and the infrared window.
