NASA Langley LASE Satellite Imagery

Flight tracks of the ER-2 plane are drawn on GOES-8 and NOAA-14 AVHRR imagery. The tracks are divided into 40 min intervals centering at 15 & 45 min past the hour for the GOES data. There is a 10 minute overlap from one image to the next. On the AVHRR data the tracks are 2 hours long. If no data are available for a given time, the tracks are drawn on the nearest available hour image.These tracks are mostly drawn on the VIS data (channel 1) but for a few cases, the IR data (channel 4) are used. A brief description of the footer on each image is given below :

The file name is : SFF-DDD.HHM.gif, where S is the satellite G = GOES-8, A=AVHRR, FF is the LASE flight number, DDD is the day of the year, HH is the UTC hour, M is the minutes past the hour: a = 15, b=45.
