DMSP OLS Visible and Infrared Data

This data set contains the 2.5 km resolution visible and infrared channel data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) instrument on the F-17, F-18, and F-19 satellites during the ORCAS (The O2/N2 Ratio and CO2 Airborne Southern Ocean Study) Project. The *_ucar files are of most use for ORCAS. These data are daily tar files that contain data files in the Terrascan Data Format (TDF).
