An Atlas of Original and Mercator-Transformed Satellite-Data Images of the Alboran Sea, August-October 1983,

Abstract

This paper presents a collection of satellite (NOAA7) images of the Alboran Sea in High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) and Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) format in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared fields. Some of them have been transformed to Mercator projection in order to show how the use of such images can aid in the preparation and conduct of oceanographic and other operations. Contents: Image Collection and Processing; Transformation to Mercator Projection; Application to Oceanographic Studies: Water Masses, Temperature Profiling, Comparison with Synoptic Weather Charts and Tidal Data.
