This data set consists of published indexes to the available cloud pictures. A digital index arranged chronologically lists geographical areas (coded by latitude/longitude rectanges), start time of photography, and an indication of meteorological features which were identified in the pictures. A map index is included (one map per day in most cases) which graphically shows areas covered by pictures. All areas are keyed to orbit number in the digital index. No data occur poleward of 55 deg lat. These indexes and the photography indexed may be obtained from NOAA-NRC, Asheville, NC. The indexes are on file and available for use at NSSDC. They may be available at some specialized or larger libraries, listed as U.S. Dept of Commerce, Weather Bureau "Catalog of Meteorlogical Satellite Data - TIROS 3 TV Cloud Photography (Key to Meteorological Records Documentation No. 5.33)."
