Summary
Satellite images archived in KuDA are derived from either the NOAA or the Dept
of Defense polar orbiting weather satellites. This dataset contains images
that are derived from the Department of Defense's polar orbiting weather
satellites. The Department of Defense's DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite
Program) had three satellites transmitting during 1991 (F8, F9, & F10). These
satellites carry a sensor called the Operational Line Scanner (OLS) which is
the one source of images for KuDA (the other source of images is NOAA's
AVHRR). The OLS is a two-channel sensor with a broadband visible channel and
an IR channel. Data are in TDF and .TAR format.
