Daily Iceberg Images
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The images are named in following way:

NAME_YYYYJJJ_TYPE.GIF

where NAME is the name of the iceberg (ex. B15A)

YYYY is the year the image was taken

JJJ is the Julian day the image was taken

and TYPE is the type of the image



There are 4 types of images:

blank - just the normal image

plot - the image with the stations in its domain plotted on top

tempC - the image with only the temperatures from the stations plotted on top

        in Degrees C

tempF - same as tempC but in Degrees Fahrenheit


NOTE: Some of the icebergs are no longer being monitored because the weather
      station(s) that used to sit on them have stopped working.
