All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description

Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer.

Level 1A and level 1B data. The L1A data are reconstructed, unprocessed instrument data at full resolution. It consists of the image data, the radiometric coefficients, the geometric coefficients and other auxiliary data without applying the coefficients to the image data. The L1B data have these coefficents applied for radiometric calibration and geometric resampling.

There are approximately 2500 scenes available. Of these, over 3/5 of theme are level 1B data.

Access

ASTER data are available on request. Please search the Satellite Imagery and Space Photography Catalogue and log a request online at the URL given below.

These ASTER data can only be provided to you at no cost due to our involvement with NASA-funded research, or our current status as an affiliated user.

Redistribution Policy:

Redistribution of ASTER data obtained at no cost through this NASA agreement is limited by certain restrictions. Researchers and educators may only redistribute these data to other researchers and educators. These data may not be redistributed to the general public or others who do not fit the criteria stated above. Any users not complying with this policy will be billed for all data received at no cost and will be subject to loss of their privilege to obtain any additional ASTER data at no cost.

*NASA-funded researchers receive funds directly from NASA through a grant, contract, or cooperative agreement. Affiliated users fall into one of three categories:

* Researchers who receive NASA research funds through a third party
* Researchers from interagency and international partners affiliated with NASA through joint projects
* Educational users including both NASA-sponsored and non-NASA-sponsored
