Webcam pictures of the Amundsen Gulf

The webcam was installed on the navigation deck of CCGS Amundsen on the port side (see http://www.amundsen.ulaval.ca/index.php?url=11511&sub=1). Its field of view nearly match with that of microwave radiometer. Thus, both of the instruments look at the same area on the ground. The webcam is set to acquire JPEG images every 5 seconds or it can be set according to the requirement by the user. A sodium lamp has be lighted on the port side to get the pictures during the night time.

Purpose

The data has been developed as an auxiliary data set supported for many other data sets. The webcam data will be extremely helpful for interpretation of the microwave radiometer data, scatterometer data, laser profiler data, IR transducer data and other atmospheric-related data sets. These latter data can be used to study heat fluxes transfer across ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interface.
