Summary
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint U.S.-Japan satellite mission to monitor tropical and subtropical precipitation.

The Visible/Infrared Scanner (VIRS) Radiance Gridded Orbital data are a special product derived from the TRMM standard product, VIRS Radiance (1B-01), and mapped to a 0.25 degree x 0.25 degree latitude/longitude grid. The spatial coverage is defined by a 720 km swath bounded by the latitudes 38 degree N and 38 degree S for a single satellite orbit. The parameters included in this data set are the scene radiance data for the five VIRS channels.

Quality The data were sourced from a draft map prepared by Dr Eric Woehler (AAD), September 2002 (refer to url below). The map shows the approximate extent of seabird colonies on Scullin Monolith 1986/87, superimposed on an aerial photograph (Film CASC4000, Run 4, Frame 88). The colony extents are based on the map published in Alonso et al. (1987) and modified using unpublished field notes of G.W. Johnstone prepared in February 1987. The data were 'eyed in' with reference to the coastline and exposed rock data from GIS Dataset 101 (refer to metadata record with id scul_mur) and using the map as a guide. The data conforms to the SCAR Feature Catalogue which includes data quality information (refer to url below).
