Things to keep in mind

Here are some things to keep in mind as you go out to the Web and locate today's iceberg using available tools and resources.

  • Screen images obtained from LEOS
  • Focus on the antarctic ice shelf region
  • Remember the optimal solar and infrared wavelength values you determined in step 2. You will want to obtain satellite images that utilize these specific wavelengths.
  • Beware that sometimes clouds will screen the satellite view
