Notes
1 UAH and AMSR-E Level 0 data is available for a 4 day window from the University of Wisconsin. However, there seems to be no read permissions allowed to guest accounts for files other than 00README.txt.
2 Computer source code to read and write various versions of HDF-EOS files is publicly available. However, this code does not actually process climate data.

Broken Satellite Equipment
The following tables sum up the satellite equipment used to produce the UAH, RSS, and AMSR-E information that has broken over time.
