Description:

This document describes the programs used for geographic grids and processing used by sea ice and sea surface temperature analyses, and for high resolution ocean modeling, at NCEP. This includes generating land masks, bathymetries, identifying lakes for further more detailed analysis of satellite data where gridding is insufficient, and determining distance from land for use in, so far, conducting satellite sea surface temperature analysis.
