 Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 11:28 am Post subject: New I-Map Layers |
 |
|
I am pleased to accounce 3 NEW I-Map Layers.
OI SST
This layer is an operational, cloud-free, satellite SST product. Using Optimal Interpolation (OI) three types of satellite sea surface temperature (SST) data are merged to produce a cloud-free satellite SST field. Input data come from NOAA and NASA satellites and are compiled and processed daily by the USF Ocean Circulation Group and USF Institute for Marine Remote Sensing.
AVHRR SST
This SST layer is estimated from infrared measurements collected by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer aboard NOAA's series of polar orbiting satellites. Energy levels at the top of the atmosphere in the 10 - 11 micron range are fit statistically to in-water SST measurements to allow 1km resolution SST estimates to be made. These data are made available by the USF Institute for Marine Remote Sensing.
MODIS SST
This SST is derived from infrared measurements collected by the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers aboard NASA's polar orbiting Terra and Aqua satellites. Energy levels at the top of the atmosphere in the 10-11 micron range (daytime) and 3-4 micron range (nighttime) are fit statistically to in-water SST measurements to allow 1km resolution SST estimates to be made. The resolution and accuracy of MODIS data are among the best available to Earth scientists today. These data are made available by the USF Institute for Marine Remote Sensing.
MODIS RGB Low Resolution
The approximate true color of the upper ocean waters, estimated from the ocean color measurements collected by the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers aboard NASA's polar orbiting Terra and Aqua satellites. Red, green, and blue channels are combined to represent what your eye would see in the ocean from this vantage point in space. The image, at approximately 1km resolution, uses radiance data at 678nm, 551nm, and 443nm as the red, green, blue channels, respectively. These data are made available by the USF Institute for Marine Remote Sensing.
More to come Stay Tuned!
For those of you that have not tried out I-Map......Check this out....It is THE STUFF!

I don't know if ya'll have looked but I-Map KICKS BUTT tonight!
WE have a composite SST, Modis SST, AVHRR SST and our own SST.
4 SST shots all for the price of admission! WOOT WOOT!
More on the way!
