During the time of our remote sensing project, we analyzed the various weather systems and patterns. We were introduced to the software allowing us to create the images of the atmosphere. The software used was Earth and Arc View. The images that we created were from hurricane Ivan, Francis, and Charley. The software enables the user to manipulate the way the air masses appeared. As part of the project we wrote a brief analysis on the following topics: |
