The images on this page were all captured with Dartcom HRPT/CHRPT/SeaWiFS systems and processed using the Dartcom iDAP viewing and processing software. They demonstrate the highly-detailed nature of HRPT, CHRPT and SeaWiFS images, and show the results which can be obtained using the multi-spectral processing facilities available in iDAP.

Note that all the images on this page are reduced-size JPEG previews of much larger images. Click an image to view its full-size, full-resolution JPEG version. Note also that the JPEG compression necessary to achieve acceptable file sizes causes a reduction in quality compared to the original, uncompressed images.

Sea surface temperature product

NOAA 14
Sea surface temperature product

Bands 2, 4 and 5
McClain SST algorithm
0.5°C steps

This sea surface temperature product was generated from NOAA 14 data, and shows the entrance to the Mediterranean. It has been reprojected into a Mercator projection and land masking has been applied. The temperature steps are 0.5°C, and a colour scale is shown to correlate the colours to temperatures.
