We had a group discussion about processing scenarios. Drew made a chart showing the needs of the different investigators. The data processing must be prioritized b ecause of the throughput limitations. This is a strong point in favor of doing this period first, as the intention of RGPS has a lways been to cover the whole Arctic. Full Artic imagery is available.
Summer is important to some investigators.
In addition, the needs of certain other investigators could be met through RGPS Eulerian ice tracking. The goal would be to have all this done by the time of delivery of RGPS to ASF, April 1999. Rick Guritz showed his SAR mosaics from cycle 15 and talked about banding, saturation over bright targets, along-track timing errors, and calibration. Ron will continue to make RPGS products available via the web. He will compile a list of subscribers who will be notified by e-mail when new products are available.
