Update of the CERSER TeraScan cataloguing system and the TeraScan image processing scripts

In 2013, the Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing Education and Research (CERSER) added more satellite receiving hardware to its current National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite system [2]. The program now processes both NOAA satellite images as well as Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) [8] satellite images. This new imaging capability required the development of scripts on the TeraScan system to process satellite data received and produce an image file with overlay features such as latitude/longitude lines and political map outlines.
