Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) light and thermal smooth imagery were the primary source ofimagery for the Air Force Global Weather Central's (AFGWC) support to Joint Operations DESERT SHIELD andDESERT STORM. During this period, the Geophysics Directorate of Phillips Laboratory's (PL/GP) multispectralimage display technique was implemented on the AFGWC Satellite Data Handling System (SDHS). Thisimplementation was accomplished through a cooperative team effort by personnel at PL/GP, the AerospaceCorporations's DMSP Lab., the Harris Corporation's Meteorological Applications Section, AFGWC, and the AirForce Systems Command Space Systems Division. Initial prototyping on SDHS was accomplished in the 72 hourperiod prior to the United Nation's January 15th deadline to Iraq, with full integration within one week. Thesoftware technique simultaneously combines both DMSP light and thermal smooth images into a calibrated colorimage product. The resulting products proved vital in AFGWC's support to DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM bymore clearly discriminating meteorological features not as evident on either light or thermal imagery. Note theblue cast to the high clouds and the brilliant yellow of the low clouds.
