Satellite Equator-crossing times for platforms carrying contributing sensors. Solid lines indicate southward crossings; lines with triangles indicate northward crossings; thin grey lines indicate periods when the satellite is operational, but the sensor data are not used in this work. “N” = NOAA platform carrying an AVHRR. “AT” = ATSR. “M’ = MetOp platform carrying AVHRR processed at full resolution. “S3” = Sentinel 3 platform carrying an SLSTR.
