NASA Data Conversion Examples
The Geophysical Processor System (GPS) Sea Ice Motion Vectors data represent how farice features moved and through what angle they rotated between two successive Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The SAR instrument's platform is the European SpaceAgency's (ESA) first European Remote Sensing satellite (ERS-1). The GPS Sea Ice Motion Vectors data are archived at the Alaska SAR Facility (ASF) DAAC. The data cover approximately a 100 kilometer x 100 kilometer area with ice featuresmeasured within 5 kilometer cells. The data contain an ice feature's initial latitude, initial longitude, final latitude, final longitude, X displacement in kilometers, Y displacement inkilometers, rotation angle, and a reliability measure. The data are derived from geocoded low resolution SAR imagery.
