  skos:definition """The VISSR, flown on SMS-1 and 2, and GOES-1 through 3, was a dual-band (visible and infrared) spin-scanning imaging device utilized for day and night, two-dimensional, cloud cover pictures from a geosynchronous altitude.  This sensor permitted day/night observations of clouds and the determination of temperatures, cloud heights, and wind fields.  It consisted of one visible channel (.55 to .70um) and one infrared channel (10.5-12.6um).  The ground resolution at nadir in the visible was 0.8km while the infrared was much lower at 7km.  The swath width is the Earth disc.
