RADARSAT Geophysical Processor System: 2 years of production

The RADARSAT Geophysical Processing System has been processing geophysical data products at ASF and JPL since 1999. The RGPS data products provide an opportunity to improve our understanding of a myriad of processes that affect climate by generating a range of products over the Arctic at 3- and 6 day intervals. These processes include mass balance, heat transfer and momentum transfer between the Arctic Ocean and atmosphere. The RGPS Team is presently processing data acquired by RADARSAT during the winter of 1998-1999 for the seasonal ice zone and the Barents Sea. Data products from other seasons for the Arctic Basin are currently available on the web. We will summarize the some results from the products generated by the ASF RGPS and describe availability of this data set to the general community.
