AVHRR is the primary sensor on board the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites.There are 5 sensors or "channels" , each designed to record information from a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The AVHRR sensor can be used to monitor vegetation, land cover, and climate, and enable scientists to observe how these three elements interact. AVHRR data can be used in Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice, Geology, Vegetation, Snow Cover, Fire Monitoring and Fuel Potential
