The Composite Minimum Brightness (CMB) chart is a computer product derived from digitized and rectified satellite video data. The minimum brightness values mapped over an area during a given period are composited and displayed as a means of suppressing transient cloudiness and enhancing major snow and ice features in the satellite imagery. Examples are presented, and limitations and verification of the technique are discussed.

This memorandum describes the computer program used operationally at the National Environmental Satellite Center (NESC) to determine the attitude of a TIROS operational Satellite (TOS)). It includes background information of historical interest, specific details of the problem and its solution, and thoughts about future approaches. It is intended as a description of this part of the NESC operation and as an introduction to the more esoteric program documentation
