Arctic Satellite Composite Project

资金用于生成北极上空的气象卫星合成物，以北极为中心，并延伸到中纬度北部。在过去的14年里，威斯康星大学已经为南极制造了类似的复合材料。该项目旨在以南极工作的成功为基础，将经验教训应用于北极。这项工作将首次开始对北极状况进行连续和一致的记录，每天多次由气象卫星捕获。主要研究人员建议使用复合材料收集来支持北极的长期观测，并将这些数据集分发给北极研究，教育和物流社区的广泛部分。

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.
