Background
Oceansat-1 (IRS-P4) is an Indian satellite launched on 29th May 1999 by
the Indian Space research Organisation (ISRO). It carries 2 sensors,
an Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) and a Multi-frequency Scanning Microwave
Radiometer (MSMR); further details of the satellite and instruments can
be found at: http://www.nrsaftp.gov.in.
DISTAFF is a proposal to evaluate the accuracy of some of the geophysical
parameters that can be derived from the microwave channels, and use them
in oceanographic studies. The writers of this proposal were:
Graham Quartly,
Meric Srokosz,
Peter Challenor and
Craig Donlon;
however to-date most of the work is being done by
James Harle.
Progress to-date - Correction of georeferencing
