Study
Status:
Completed
Activity Type:
Research
Subject/Discipline:
Monitor Natural Resources
Objectives:
Measure surface water temperatures of Crater
Lake at same times that the Multi-spectral
Thermal Imager (MTI) satellite is imaging
Crater Lake from an altitude of about 500
kilometers. Use surface water temperature
measurements to determine how accurately MTI
can remotely measure water temperatures of
high-altitude, cold water lakes. MTI
development and testing is funded by the US
Department of Energy (DOE).
Findings and Status:
Personnel from the Savannah River Technology
Center (SRTC) visited Crater Lake in
September of 1999 to plan for Crater Lake
water temperature measurements after MTI
satellite is launched in February of 2000.
The water temperature measurements will be
made in collaboration with NPS and Oregon
State University (OSU) researchers who have
long-term ongoing research projects at
Crater Lake. MTI imagery will help these
researchers better understand nutrient
cycling in Crater Lake. Imaging of Crater
Lake by MTI satellite should start soon
after launch and continue for one to two
years.
For
this study, were one or more specimens collected and
