DMSP SSM/I Multisensor Composite Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.037

Summary
The DMSP SSM/I Multisensor Composite Imagery (JPG) is one of several satellite
products collected as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine
Stratocumulus Phase-II: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project field catalog
operated by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing
Laboratory (NCAR/EOL: http://catalog.eol.ucar.edu/dycoms). The images were
produced by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) from the Defense
Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Special Sensor Microwave/Imager
(SSM/I). Images are available at DMSP satellite overpass times which during
DYCOMS II were typically around 01-06 UTC and 14-19 UTC. The products included
in each file include GOES-10 infrared and water vapor products and DMSP wind
and vapor products. The products cover the period from 1-30 July 2001 and
cover the region from about 25-50 N and 110-140 W. The products were acquired
from the NRL. All images are in JPG format.
