ENVISAT Photo Gallery

All photos on this page were taken by MJ Mahoney and should not be used without permission .  The intent of this gallery is to convey a sense of the environment for the ENVISAT Validation deployment. Although scientists often get to travel to interesting and sometimes exotic locations, field work is extremely demanding, involving long hours with little time off to explore the surroundings.Most of the photos in these galleries were taken after hours on a month long deployment. Hopefully, they will bring back fond memories of this deployment for those who were on it, and help instill interest in atmospheric research for those who were not. For more information on ENVISAT, go to the ENVISAT Home Page . Click each image to see a 1024x768 enlargement. On most browsers, clicking the F11 key will get rid of un-needed menus at the top and allow most of the impage to be viewed. Higher quality images are available on request . Many more photos from this period are available at the SOLVE 2 Photo Gallery, and the EUPLEX Photo Gallery.
