NOAA's Satellite Active Archive is a digital library of real-time and
historical satellite data from NOAA's Polar-orbiting Operational
Environmental Satellites (POES). Currently, AVHRR and TOVS data is
available.

NOAA Satellite Information System (NOAASIS) provides
NOAA/NESDIS-operated satellite information for direct readout station
operators and users of environmental satellite data. Limited
information is provided for the satellites operated by other countries
and enitities.
Includes general information about satellites, schedules, navigation
information, publications, and more.

near-polar orbiting, sun-synchronous satellites monitoring
meteorological, oceanographic and solar-terrestrial physics
environments.

Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) home page. Contains general
information on ozone, ozone satellite retrieval, and information about
Earth Probe/TOMS, Meteor-3, and Nimbus-7. Ozone movies and graphs
also available.
Nimbus-7 and Meteor-3 daily gridded Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer
(TOMS) ozone data is available via <URL:ftp://jwocky.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/>.
user is warned that the data are not archive quality and not suitable for publication. Data will eventually be archived with the GSFC DAAC.

The GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite)
Pathfinder Data Set was generated at SSEC using full resolution GOES
imagery from the Geostationary National Archive. Includes 8 km
products, 70 km equal area statistics products, 24 km browse of the 8
km products, and 9 panel browse of the 70 km statistics from May 4,
1987 through November 30, 1988.
