The document discusses NOAA's Climate Data Record (CDR) Program, which leverages over 30 years of satellite data to provide trusted climate information. The CDR Program collects data from multiple decades using similar satellite systems, and develops fundamental CDRs by applying the best analysis methods across different data sets and instruments. This reveals climate information within archived satellite data.
