NOAA-7 AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) Images Obtained during the Donde VA? Experiment in the Alboran Sea, 1-20 October 1982

Abstract

During the period 1 through 20 October 1982, NOAA-7 satellite data were received and archived at Centre de Meteorologie Spatiale (CMS), Lannion, France. These data were collected as part of the multi-platform international experiment called Donde Va? The scientific purpose of the satellite data collection was to provide synoptic thermal coverage of the Alboran Sea particularly in the region of the incoming Atlantic water near the Strait of Gibraltar. This report presents comparatively cloud-free images for use as an aide in the analysis of Donde Va? multi-platform data collected by other members of the Donde Va? investigative team. All of the images presented are registered to a Mercator projection. In addition, the infrared images have been atmospherically corrected to minimize the effects of atmospheric moisture. The visible images have been enhanced to show sea surface roughness and turbidity changes.
