The Arctic and Antarctic Research Center at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography

这个项目将继续由斯克里普斯海洋研究所的北极和南极研究中心(AARC)获取和存档南极环境的极轨卫星图像，为期三年。AARC已经在南极的麦克默多和帕尔默站建立了卫星跟踪设施，记录和存档NOAA系列极轨卫星和国防部DMSP系列卫星的图像。AARC目前维护着6000多盘数据磁带的档案，区域覆盖范围包括整个南极洲和大部分南大洋。这些数据用于支持南极作业活动，如南极水域考察船的航行和空中作业的天气预报，以及世界各地极地科学家的地球物理和环境研究项目。

The AARC presently maintains an archive of more than 6000 data tapes, and the regional coverage includes all of Antarctica and much of the Southern Ocean. These data are used are used to support such antarctic operational activities as the navigation of research vessels in antarctic waters and weather forecasting for air operations, as well as the geophysical and environmental research projects of polar scientists worldwide.
