Western Michigan University
L-Band Receiving Station
In 2004,
the Department of Geology, using internal
funding from
Western Michigan University
and in kind support from
SeaSpace Corporation, acquired a real-time
receiving
station. In January of 2005, Dr. M. Sultan's ESRS
group
started
the regular acquisition of NOAA's Advanced
Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR),
Sea-viewing Wide Field of view Sensor (SeaWiFS)
data, and
MVISR data from
China's FY-1C and FY-1D
satellites.
Approximately 6-10
images
of data over North America are acquired
daily through our satellite receiving station. Archival
images are being incorporated into a database.
Below are browse images
of the last orbital passes including:
