Full disk earth day/night pairs
visualization information v. 1
visualization information v. 2

These image pairs were originally created for use in making a lenticular postcard (a sample product that could be used at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.)

Version 2

June 2001

This second version of this image set uses SEAWIFS and NDVI for the color of the continents and the NCEP and MODIS global cloud texture. The night image uses the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) 'night lights dataset' superimposed on a modified version of the daytime land.

Version 1

Feb,Mar 2001

The daytime image uses SEAWIFS and NDVI for the color of the continents and GOES-8 and GOES-9 for the clouds. The night image uses the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Operational Linescan System (OLS) 'night lights dataset' superimposed on a modified version of the daytime land.
The first pair of images are centered on the north american continent:


Small daytime.tiff, 1024x768, 2.3 MB
Large daytime.tiff, 4096x3072, 37.8 MB



Small nighttime.tiff, 1024x768, 2.3 MB
Large nighttime.tiff, 4096x3072, 37.8 MB




Image pairs centered on other continents were delayed until a high resolution global cloud texture could be assembled. The cloud texture was completed in early June and the other image pairs will be finished by the end of June.
