DSRS Monthly AVHRR Quicklook CD-ROM

Home | Help | Contact | NEODAAS

As of February 1997 we have been supplying a Monthly AVHRR Quicklook product on CD-ROM to compliment our Web service.

Background

Two factors were involved in the decision to introduce this product:

• We are aware that due to network bottlenecks some of our Web service users experience unacceptably slow download times for on-line Quicklooks. Provision of a similar data set on CD-ROM provides rapid local browsing of Quicklooks and thumbnails without having to worry about network delays or server availability and load.
• Due to technical reasons we have stopped production of our monthly photographic 35mm browse product. The Monthly CD-ROM product is being offered as a replacement to all our 35mm browse customers.

The CD-ROM Product

Each CD-ROM contains the full set of Quicklook image data from all NOAA AVHRR satellite passes received at Dundee for One Complete Month (ie Jan 1997). As on the Web all AVHRR channels are provided as well as an NDVI product. An additional false colour Quicklook is also provided on the CD.

A new set of thumbnail sheets are provided to allow rapid browsing of a large number of passes.

All the Quicklooks and thumbnails have been specially reformated to optimise browse speed on your local system.

A new HTML based Quicklook browsing system is provided on the CD-ROM providing several methods of Quicklook referencing and display. This will work on any platform supporting a Web browser such as Netscape Navigator v2 or above. You can of course also view the Quicklooks on the CD-ROM using your own favorite image viewer if you prefer. Images are stored in GIF format.

Availability

All complete months from November 1978 are available for order on CD-ROM.

Orders for future months will normally be available for dispatch during the first working week following completion of that month.
