Report on workshop "Study of the polar atmosphere and cryosphere using satellite data with surface validation observations including unmanned one"

Abstract

The workshop was organized to discuss algorithms to derive parameters of the polar atmosphere and cryosphere using satellite data received mainly at Syowa Station (69°S, 40°E), Antarctica, i.e., the data from NOAA, MOS (Marine Observation Satellite)-1,ERS (European Remote Sensing Satellite)-1,JERS (Japanese Earth Resources Satellite)-1 with validation data at the surface. It was held on 16 March 1993 at the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR), total number of participants being about 40. The contents of the workshop are as follows : The present status of receipt and utilization of the satellite data of NOAA, MOS-1,ERS-1,JERS-1; The Atmosphere; Sea ice; The Cryosphere; Introduction to the satellite data analysis system at the Information Science Center at NIPR.
