DMSP Visible Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.040

Summary
The DMSP Visible 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
Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center (NPMOC) in San Diego California
from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Visible Channel.
Images are available at DMSP satellite overpass times which during DYCOMS II
were typically around 01-04 UTC and 14-17 UTC. The products cover the period
from 1-31 July 2001 and cover the region from about 20-55 N and 105-150 W. The
products were acquired from the NPMOC. All images are in JPG format.
