Abstract

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).
