CAMEX-3 GOES-8 Products

In support of the third Convection and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX-3), imagery from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 8 (GOES-8) was collected and archived. Images from the satellite were saved as McIdas areas and cropped to show the region of the globe from 60 to 100 degrees West, and 10 to 40 degrees north. Generally, images are available for all dates between 5 August and 1 October, 1998 at times h+00:15 and h+00:45. Three channels were archived: channel 1-- visible (0.65 microns), channel 2-- infrared (11 microns) and channel 3-- known as the water vapor channel (6.75 microns).Data resolution for visible imagery is 1 km. at nadir, IR is 4 km., and water vapor is 8 km.
