REVOLUTION: Orbit number. Note that it can be 1 to 2 off the correct orbit number (according to documentation).
SOURCE: Receiving station name.
PROCESSING_CENTER: Name of data processing center.
START: Time of first scanline acquisition (year, day of year, millisecond of day).
STOP: Time of last scanline acquisition (year, day of year, millisecond of day).
LOCATION: AVHRR Earth location indication. Will be Ascending when satellite moves from low latitudes to high latitudes and Descending in other case.

- NOAA data can be downloaded from the Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) (former SAA). Actually it is only source of Level 1b datasets for me, so my implementation tested with that files only.
