Description
Summary:The Naval Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NOARL) Remote sensing Branch is selecting and processing Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer(AVHRR) data to support the science objectives of the Office of Naval Research Arctic Leads Accelerated Research Initiative (Arctic Leads ARI). Imagery is selected using hard copy prints from the Navy/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrative (NOAA) Joint Ice Center. An attempt is made to select imagery so that most of the Arctic is covered every 3 days. Imagery from NOAA's Satellite Data Services Division is calibrated and mapped to a stereographic projection identical to that used for Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) data by the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The Arctic is covered in 2 grids of 1 km pixel size. Three years worth of imagery will be processed. At present, processing for 1989 is underway.
