Basic Satellite Data Products Dave Foley CoastWatch Coordinator Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research University of Hawaii And NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Environmental Research Division. CIOSS Workshop Corvallis September 8, 2005
Background: NOAA West Coast CoastWatch and OceanWatch Produce satellite-based oceanic products and distribute via Internet technology to a variety of users. Collaborate and provide training in applying satellite remote sensing technology for fisheries and other marine science applications. Collaborate with users in developing new satellite- derived products with emphasis on integrating data from multi-satellite sensors and platforms. Provide near real-time satellite data support for IOOS west coast regional associations and PaCOOS.
Satellite Ocean Data and Data Products Include those from satellite sensors that measure SST Ocean color Ocean winds, and Sea surface height.
