HCMM Heat Capacity Mapping Mission

The author has identified the following significant results. Thermal imagery shows a large temperature variation over the 640 acre experimental site. The variation is due to the slope and aspect of the terrain as well as the aircraft flight direction (east-west versus north-south). In spite of these individual temperature differences, mean temperature values from 40 to 640 acre blocks are essentially identical regardless of aircraft flight direction.

Initial evaluation tests of Eagle-Picher Industries 9.0 ampere-hour nickel-cadmium spacecraft cells for the heat capacity mapping mission satellite and the stratospheric aerosol and gas experiment satellite

The results of tests to insure that all cells put into the life cycle program are of high quality are reported. The tests consisted of the following: phenolptalein leak tests, internal short test, charge efficiency test, and overcharge tests. The results of tests for 10 cells are tabulated.

Heat Capacity Mapping Mission (HCMM)

Extensive ground and air data were collected on 3 May 1979. These data are being processed. We are awaiting quick look imagery for this date. If spacecraft data looks good, we will order CCT's and proceed with the analysis. There are no author-identified significant results in this report.

Sea surface temperature of the coastal zones of France. Heat Capacity Mapping Mission (HCMM)

The author has identified the following significant results. HCMM data analysis shows some mesoscale features which were previously expected to occur: summer coastal upwellings in the Gulf of Lions, tidal fronts bordering the English Channel, and cooler surface waters at the continental shelf break. The analysis of the spectral variance density spectra show that the interpretation of the data usually is limited by the HCMM radiometric performance (noise levels) at wavenumbers below 5 km in the oceanic areas; from this analysis it may also be concluded that a decrease of the radiometric noise level down to 0.1 k against an increase of the ground resolution up to 2 km would give a better optimum of the radiometric performances in the oceanic areas. HCMM data appear to be useful for analysis of the sea surface temperature field, particularly in the very coastal area by profiting from the ground resolution of 500 m.
