From February to July 1962, the TIROS-4 satellite collected temperature measurements using a low-resolution omnidirectional radiometer. The data consists of black and white sensor temperature values in degrees Celsius, recorded from two sets of bolometers designed to measure Earth's radiation budget. These historical measurements were originally written on IBM 7094 machines and recovered from magnetic tapes, now archived in text format.
