These brightness temperatures, supplied by the experimenter, are displayed as black and white images at either full vertical scale (F) or partial vertical scale (P). In the F mode, up to 125 min of data are output on a single image. In the P mode, data are displayed at twice the vertical scale used at the F mode, and two images are usually needed to display all 125 min of data. Each display contains swaths of horizontally or vertically polarized data of the 37-GHz channel at a brightness temperature range. Spatial resolution at nadir is 20 km in the cross-track direction and 45 km along track. Conversion from the 18-step gray scale to brightness temperatures can be found in a table in each of the 11 volumes of "The Nimbus 6 Data Catalog," TRF B26731.
