CASPR: Examples

  Near real-time CASPR retrievals over the Arctic and Antarctic are available here.

The following plots were generated from AVHRR data covering the Beaufort Sea, north of Alaska.  The figure shows the types of parameters that CASPR can retrieve, and the types of plots used in displaying the results. The data are based on approximately one image per day over the course of one year centered on January 1, 1993 (decimal year 93.0).

Here are a few images showing results from the AVHRR Polar Pathfinder test image set:

• All-sky surface temperature, July 1989, Arctic
• Downwelling shortwave flux at the surface, July 1989, Arctic
• Downwelling longwave flux at the surface, July 1989, Arctic

In addition to published papers (see the Reference Guide), some validation information is available on-line.
