Compression of Spectral Meteorological

Data compression is essential to current low-earth-orbit spectral sensors with global coverage, e.g. meteorological sensors. Such sensors routinely produce in excess of 30 Gb of data per orbit ( over 4 Mb/s for about 110 min. ) while typically limited to less than 10 Gb of downlink capacity per orbit ( 15 minutes at 10 Mb/s ). Astro-Space Division develops spaceborne compression systems for com...

The present report describes the determination of a set of monthly tiepoints for use in sea ice retrieval by passive microwave radiometry. From archived DMSP F-13 SSM/I data from 1996 and 1997 as well as surface temperatures from the NCEP reanalysis, emissivities are computed and analysed on a 250x250 km grid. The results are sets of monthly tiepoints for First Year ice and Open Water extracted...
