This set of image data is on binary magnetic tape in band sequential (BSQ) format. The image data section contains introductory data as well as the actual sensor data. Each record contains sensor data representing one scan line, the support data associated with that scan line (if any are present), and fill data. The header specifies the characteristics of the image data. The scale of imagery is numerically 1:4,000,000, and these images are contrast enhanced. The spatial resolution is approximately 600 m at nadir for the IR channel (10.5 - 12.5 micrometers) and 500 m for the visible channel (0.5 - 1.1 micrometers). Areas covered include parts of the United States, western Canada, western Europe, northern Africa, and eastern Australia. The dataset was restored to 6250 bpi tape from the original 1600 bpi tape.
