Collection of SeaWiF Data for the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East
SeaWiFS is a newly developed satellite, integrating advanced technology
that acquires multi-channel data over land and sea. Daily SeaWiFS images
over the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East are received at the J.
Blaustein Institute in HRPT format (1.1 km resolution) using a PC-based
receiving station. The volume of daily images will range from 30-130 Mb,
depending on the area of acquisition. These PCs receive raw HRPT-type data
and convert it to level-0 to match the specifications of NASA
documentation. Subsequently, each image is transferred from the receiving
station to NASA/GSFC, to create a global image based on several HRPT
stations across the globe.
