Dates (month/day/year): 03/01/2004 - 05/31/2004 SeaWiFS HRPT Station to provide data: L1-GAC data List of Authorized Users to access real-time data. 1. Hajime Fukushima Project Title: SeaWiFS GAC data analysis for APEX aerosol experiment Principal Investigator(s): Hajime Fukushima Funding Agency(s): Ministry of Education, Science and Culture Description of the Research Project and Justification for Real-time SeaWiFS Data: As a part of Asian Particle Environmental Change Experiment (APEX) Intensive Observation Experiment, which is to be conducted in March through May over Japan area, we request quasi-real time support for SeaWiFS GAC Level-1A data. This data will be used to support the participating scientists of the experiment, including airplane observation. Our plan for the data processing is as follows. - Satellite and ancillary data: Period of data service: March 1 - May 31, 2004. Requested data: SeaWiFS GAC Level-1A which covers 70E-180E, 10N-50N. Planned data transfer: ftp Ancillary data: Quasi-real time data is preferable. If not available, the climatological data will be used. - Data processing: Output parameters/imagery: Browse image (color composite), dust veil indeces for land and ocean, aerosol optical thickness, and angstrom exponent. Processing: Remapped dayly composite. Providing imagery: via APEX home page
