TCSP GOES VISIBLE AND INFRARED IMAGES V1

The TCSP GOES Visible and Infrared Images dataset was collected in support of the Tropical Cloud Systems and Processes (TCSP) mission, visible and infrared imagery from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 11 and 12 (GOES11, GOES 12) was collected and archived. Two channels were archived: channel 1-- visible (0.65 microns), and channel 2-- infrared (11 microns). Data files in McIDAS format as well as browse images were created. The TCSP mission collected data for research and documentation of cyclogenesis, the interaction of temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind and air pressure that creates ideal birthing conditions for tropical storms, hurricanes and related phenomena. The goal of this mission was to help us better understand how hurricanes and other tropical storms are formed and intensify.

本TCSP GOES可见光与红外图像数据集系为支持热带云系与过程（TCSP）任务而搜集整理，其中包含了地球同步轨道运行环境卫星11号（GOES11）与12号（GOES12）的可见光与红外影像数据，并已进行归档。该数据集收录了两个通道：通道1为可见光（波长0.65微米），通道2为红外光（波长11微米）。数据文件以McIDAS格式存储，并附带浏览图像。TCSP任务旨在搜集数据以支持对气旋生成过程的研究与记录，该过程涉及温度、湿度、降水量、风速和气压的相互作用，为热带风暴、飓风及其相关现象的孕育提供了理想条件。此次任务的目标在于增进我们对飓风以及其他热带风暴形成与增强机制的理解。
