 2: High Resolution Picture Transmission. Moderately high resolution imaging mode from the AVHRR on the NOAA satellites. Produced in five channels with a resolution of 1km at the satellite subpoint (nadir). (references)
GeologicalHRPT data are full resolution image data transmitted to a ground station as they are collected. The average instantaneous field-of-view of 1.4 milliradians yields a HRPT ground resolution of approximately 1.1 km at the satellite nadir from the nominal orbit altitude of 833 km (517 mi).
