Synchronous Meteorological Satellite-2 (SMS-2) captured infrared imagery of the Western Hemisphere from geostationary orbit, initially at 105°W and later at 135°W. This dataset consists of digital scans of 70mm film containing 10.5–12.5 micrometer IR pictures, each with embedded metadata titles and a 33-level brightness temperature grayscale. Individual pictures can cover up to 500 sq km with a maximum spatial resolution of 3.7 km per pixel and may include contrast enhancement, sectorization, or reduced-size options.
License is specified as 'other-license-specified'; users must check the specific terms. Data is packaged in ZIP files containing several hundred TIFF scans, with each TIFF containing 2 or 3 pictures.
