Infrared Satellite Data from the First Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment March - July 1981,

Abstract

As part of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment infrared images from the weather satellite NOAA-6 were collected from late March to mid-July 1981. Images which met certain quality criteria were registered to a common grid and were screened to eliminate data which were cloud-contaminated. Infrared images yield approximate sea-surface temperature maps via the blackbody relationship. This report contains photographs of the digital images and a brief description of the processing techniques which were used. (Author)
