A System for the Preliminary Processing of NOAA Polar Orbiter Data with Level 1B, Local Area Coverage (LAC) Format

摘要

A system of programs to translate and rewrite, in 8 bit accuracy, the 10 bit NOAA LAC TIROS satellite data tapes is presented. Three assembler programs are used to give data quality statistics, 10 bit pixel value histograms, and Earth location, calibration and zenith angle files. A fourth program interfaces with a user defined FORTRAN subroutine for calibration processing directly from 10 bit pixel data.
