Image Compositing

CZCS Atlantic Daily CZCS Atlantic Weekly
CZCS Atlantic Monthly CZCS Atlantic Annual

The mosaics of all available CZCS data collected on a given day form the building blocks for all longer-term averages. Where more than one pass overlaps, data for that area are averaged, but the number of passes averaged at any one point on the Earth to form the composite varies greatly. Here, the results of the compositing process can be seen with daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal composites displayed. Note the increased geographical coverage, and spatial smoothing that occurs as the time-scale increases.
