Description
Summary:The Bering Sea Experiment (BESEX) was conducted in February and March 1973 to study ice cover, sea state and zones of precipitation by means of airborne microwave radiometers over the Bering Sea. The images were computer processed from satellite data tapes. In processing the tapes, compensation was made for satellite attitude and altitude variations, as well as for image rectification. Visual imagery was taken in the 0.4 to 1.1-u range, and infrared imagery in the 8.0 to 13.0-u range.
