Eye in the sky

Dundee station satellite coverage

Dundee station satellite coverage

The Remote Sensing Group (RSG) at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) process the raw satellite data received at Dundee, as the ship is still within the area covered by the Dundee satellite receiving station, and provide it to the ship in near real time.

Once the ship is outside Dundee coverage we will switch to data from NASA and NOAA, increasing the delays between the satellite pass and getting the images to the ship.

Images are produced by combining satellite data (in this case from 16th October to 22nd October), creating a 7 day composite.
