PSEA-10-01 TeraScan DMSP Satellite Data [Cooper, L./USCG-ESU]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/102.173

Summary
This dataset includes DMSP data from the SeaSpace TeraScan System. The data
are from the F12, F13, F14, F15, F16 and F17 Defense Meteorological Satellites
Program (DMSP) satellites. The data are from the satellite passes that
occurred over the Bering Sea during the Bering Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea
Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BEST-BSIERP) 2010 1001 (early spring)
cruise onboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Sea. BEST-BSIERP together are
the Bering Sea project. The individual data files are in TeraScan format and
have been collected into tar files by day.
