This contribution documents the satellite data archives, data processing methods and
temporal Fourier analysis (TFA) techniques used to create the remotely sensed datasets on
the DVD distributed with this volume. The aim is to provide a detailed reference guide to the
genesis of the data, rather than a standard review. These remotely sensed data cover the
entire globe at either 1× 1 or 8× 8 km spatial resolution. We briefly evaluate the relationships
between the 1× 1 and 8× 8 km global TFA products to explore their inter-compatibility. The …
