CoastWatch Swath Files in HDF Format

CoastWatch swath data derived from AVHRR is full pass swath projection data from different AVHRR receiving stations. The files contain multiple data variables stored using the HDF-4 Scientific Data Sets (SDS) model. The product contents are channel 1 albedo, channel 2 albedo, channel 3a albedo, channel 3 brightness temperature, channel 4 brightness temperature, channel 5 brightness temperature, moisture corrected sea-surface-temperature, 8-bit CLAVR ocean cloud mask, 2-bit CLAVR-X cloud mask, satellite zenith angle, solar zenith angle and relative azimuth angle.
