Sample Coincident Data from Earth-observing Space Sensors for the Mount Oyama Eruptions

This page provides an organized structure for access to coincident data files (data acquired as close to the same date and time as possible) on this CD-ROM:

The Data and Information Access Link (DIAL) and Collage tools provide digital data processing to display the metadata as text and the processed data as an image or an array. Collage is provided on this CD; a link to the DIAL Web site is also provided.

Use the menu bar to go to the Tools page for step-by-step instructions for using the Collage and DIAL tools.

Disclaimer: NASA offers Web sites and Web pages imbedded in the text, for additional information regarding instruments and data. Web access is required to reach these sites. Link existence and contents are not under the control of the EOSDIS Science Operations Office.

 

ASTER Data (19 July 2000, Terra Orbit 3112, Path 107)

Information about ASTER sample data for 19 July 2000 on this CD:

ASTER Data Directory on this CD for actual HDF-EOS files

The ASTER L1B full granule contains 60- by 60-km Level 1B multispectral data. The ASTER L2 full granules cover the same area. While clouds cover part of the island, locally clear air allows mapping of ash-fall areas as well as other land cover features. Most of the image covers the surface of the ocean.

This data sample was collected on 19 July, at 01:48:52 GMT (10:48:52 JST), and shows the effects of the eruptions of 7, 8 and 14-15 July.

Digital data for 29 August is not available from the EOS Data Gateway (EDG) (as of 29 October 2001), or from the GDS in Japan (as of 29 October 2001).

CERES Data (29 August 2000, Terra Orbit 3709, Path 106)

CERES Data Directory on this CD for actual HDF-EOS file

This data sample (coincident with MODIS and MISR data samples) is a subset of a CERES Level 2 ES8 (24 hour) granule.

This data sample is NOT image format data. CERES data are geolocated, but are not in the format required to generate an image using general tools.

MISR Data (29 August 2000, Terra Orbit 3709, Path 106)

Information about MISR sample data on this CD:

MISR Data Directory on this CD for actual HDF-EOS files. On the Web site (http://eos.nasa.gov/outreach/), this directory includes other MISR GRP data samples.

The sample data sets are subsets of full orbit files (granules). Each subset contains three blocks of data (block numbers 62, 63, and 64). This data sample (coincident with MODIS and CERES data samples) includes the southern part of Honshu and offshore islands, and shows the latter stages of the eruption and associated smoke/aerosols of the plume.

MODIS Data (29 August 2000, Terra Orbit 3709, Path 106)

Information about MODIS sample data on this CD:

MODIS Data Directory on this CD for actual HDF-EOS files

The L1B subset data sample (coincident with MISR and CERES data samples) is centered on the Japanese island of Miyakejima and clearly shows clouds, the major eruptive plume and resulting aerosols, and features of the Japanese mainland. The L2 granules are full granules.

MOPITT Data (22-29 August 2000)

Information about MOPITT sample data on this CD:

MOPITT Data Directory on this CD for actual data file

The MOPITT subset data sample dated 20000829, centered on the Japanese island of Miyakejima, shows the carbon monoxide (CO) atmospheric gas concentrations as affected by the eruptions. The MOPITT samples dated 20000822 to 20000828 show the "normal" CO atmospheric gas concentrations in the days just prior to or at the start of the 28 August eruptions. The subsets cover the same area as the CERES subset.

These data samples are NOT image format data; they are geo- and time-referenced.
These data samples are in ASCII format, not HDF-EOS format.
To properly compare MOPITT Level 2 data with models or other measurements, the MOPITT averaging kernels MUST be used.

TOMS Data (19 August 2000)

Information about TOMS sample data 19 August 2000 on this CD:

TOMS Data Directory on this CD for actual data file

The Earth Probe TOMS subset data samples are centered on the Japanese island of Miyakejima and clearly show the eruptive ash aerosols and sulfur dioxide (SO2) atmospheric gas from the 18 August eruptions to the south of the island.

This data sample is NOT image format data.
This data sample is in ASCII format, not HDF-EOS format.
