CERES is a global data set whose satellite orbit determines the spatial coverage at the surface.

Satellites, Instruments, MinLat MaxLat MinLon MaxLon Spatial Altitude, Temporal Range:
  • NPP, FM5, -90 90 -180 180, 824 km, Feb 2012 - present
  • Aqua, FM3 & FM4, -90 90 -180 180, 705 km, Jun 2002 - present
  • Terra, FM1 & FM2, -90 90 -180 180, 705 km, Feb 2000 - present
  • TRMM, PFM, -40 40 -180 180, 350 km, Dec 1997 - Sep 1, 1998
    *occasional coverage for coincident overflights with Terra in 1999 - 2001
