KRMS (K-Band Radiometric Mapping System) SSM/I Validation March 1988 Quick Look Report

Authors: L. D. Farmer; Duane T. Eppler; Bruce Heydlauff; D. Olsen; NAVAL OCEAN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY STENNIS SPACE CENTER MS
 
Abstract: The primary objective of this mission was to provide high-re solution passive microwave imagery in support of the NASA SSM/I sea ice algorithm verification program. Four flights were flown, originating from Eielson AFB, Fairbanks, Alaska, over the Chukchi Sea, the Beaufort Sea, and the Bering Sea. The Ka-band Radiometric Mapping System (KRMS) was flown from 6 to 14 March 1988. Data were collected on each of four days during this period. This report provides the flight and navigation records required to reconstruct the missions. Flight racks, compiled from the primary navigation system, indicate areas of coverage. The system logs provide the sensor settings and pertinent flight data, such as altitude and ground speed. The navigation logs provide specifics as to location of data and time of collection. A flight track chart is provided for each day's mission. Several examples of KRMS imagery are also provided.
