Polar Orbiting and Geostationary Satellite Data from Dundee University via WWW
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Description
The National Environment Research Council (NERC) Satellite Station at Dundee University (UK) server address on the WWW is 'sat.dundee.ac.uk/'. The Natural Environment Research Council, established by Royal Charter in 1965, has responsibility for planning, encouraging and carrying out research in the physical and biological sciences which explain the natural processes of the environment. The NERC satellite station at Dundee University has been systematically recording HRPT data from NOAA satellites on a daily basis since the launch of the prototype 3rd generation NOAA satellite TIROS-N in October 1978.
It also recorded data from the CZCS on NIMBUS-7 between August 1979 and the end of the mission in December 1986. SeaWiFS, NIMBUS-7's replacement was launched on 1st August 1997 and Dundee is receiving and archiving this data. MODIS data from EOS AM/PM satellites (Terra, Aqua) will also be archived.

HRPT data is stored on magnetic tape and optical disk and is available from Dundee for all NOAA satellite passes from 1978 onwards. Formats include raw data on exabytes and CD-ROMs, processed images, high quality enhanced photographic enlargments, photographic browse files etc. Data is also available over the network from the web site.
The quicklook archive contains sampled images from every NOAA satellite pass received at Dundee. The images are sampled to contain the complete pass in each of the 5 AVHRR channels plus a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. The images are also corrected for earth curvature and have a grid overlay showing coastlines and latitude/longitude lines.
Browsing the archive to search for specific areas or features is made easier with access to our database of all passes we have received. Thumbnail images allow those with slow network connections to view a series of small images for quick comparisons or when searching for major features.
