Arctic Satellite Composite Project

Lazzara 0713843威斯康星大学提供资金用于在北极上空生成气象卫星复合材料，以北极为中心，并延伸到北方中纬度地区。在过去的14年里，威斯康星州大学也为南极制作了类似的复合材料。该项目旨在建立在南极努力的成功基础上，并将吸取的经验教训应用于北极。这一努力将启动第一个连续和一致的记录北极的状态，每天多次，由气象卫星捕获。主要研究人员建议使用收集的复合材料来支持对北极的长期观测，并将这些数据集分发给北极研究，教育和物流界的广泛部门。

Lazzara 0713843University of WisconsinFunds are provided for the generation of weather satellite composites over the Arctic, centered on the North Pole, and extending into the northern mid-latitudes. Similar composites have been made for the Antarctic at the University of Wisconsin for the last fourteen years. This project aims to build on the success of the Antarctic efforts and apply lessons learned toward the Arctic. This effort will initiate the first continuous and consistent record of the state of the Arctic, multiple times per day, as captured by weather satellites. The principal investigators propose to use the collection of composites in support of long-term observations of the Arctic, as well as distribute these data sets to a broad segment of the arctic research, educational and logistics communities.
