%X This dataset is the NOAA meteorological satellite AVHRR 1B data obtained by the ground satellite receiving system of Zhongshan Station during China's 18th Antarctic Expedition from 2001 to 2002. NOAA satellites are the third-generation practical meteorological observation satellites of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States. The first generation is called the "TIROS" series (1960-1965), the second generation is called the "ITOS"/NOAA series (1970-1976), and the subsequent third generation is called the TIROS-N/NOAA series. Its orbit is a nearly circular Sun-synchronous orbit, with orbital heights of 870km and 833km, Orbital inclination of 98.9° and 98.7°, and a period of 101.4 minutes. The application purpose of NOAA is for daily meteorological operations, with two satellites operating normally. Due to the fact that one satellite can observe the same area on the ground at least twice a day, two satellites can perform more than four observations
