OSTI ID:56422
The project specialized in the acquisition and dissemination of satellite imagery and its utilization for case-specific and statistical analyses of offshore environmental conditions, particularly those involving sea ice. During the duration of this contract, 854 Landsat Multispectral Scanner and 2 Landsat Thematic Mapper scenes, 8,576 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer images, and 31,000 European, Earth Resources Satellite, Synthetic Aperture Radar images were archived. Direct assistance was provided to eight Minerals Management Service (MMS)-sponsored studies, including analyses of Port Moller circulation, Bowhead whale migration, distribution, population and behavioral studies, Beaufort Sea fisheries, oil spill trajectory model development, and Kasegaluk Lagoon environmental assessments. In addition, under this Cooperative Agreement several complete studies were undertaken based on analysis of satellite imagery. The topics included: Kasegaluk Lagoon transport, the effect of winter storms on arctic ice, the relationship between ice surface temperatures as measured by buoys and passive microwave imagery, unusual cloud forms following lead-openings, and analyses of Chukchi and Bering sea polynyas.
