Why is it important?
High-resolution global images of a planet's atmosphere provide multi-scale information for the study of complicated processes, including jet stream formation and turbulence.
Perspectives
This article provides a good example of a continuous data-processing pipeline that spans an entire project: starting with the telescope's raw, uncalibrated images and ending with the pdf of the research article that describes the results.
