Population Analysis of Minke Whales Abundance estimate for Antarctic Minke whales decreased from 730,000 in CPII to 360,000 in CPIII - Why?? Changes in sea-ice distribution has been put forth as a potentially important factor. Satellite sea-ice data is being examined to test this hypothesis. Work in progress by Brownell & Wilson, NOAA/NMFS/SWFSC ERD

Population Analysis Sea Ice data provided by Jay Zwally, NASA/GSFC Data analysis by Xuemei Qiu, NMFS/SWFSC Sea Ice data provided by Jay Zwally, NASA/GSFC Data analysis by Xuemei Qiu, NMFS/SWFSC More ice in CP-III Less ice in CP-III More ice in CP-III Less ice in CP-III III IV V VI I II (Balaenoptera bonaerensis)

Ground Truth for Stock Assessments Sablefish (Anopoploma fimbria) Pathfinder’s long time series allowed us to show that the SST > 15°C for a period when tagged sablefish were known to survive. This contradicted laboratory studies of tag-related mortality used in stock assessments. The end result will be an increase in the catch quota reflecting a more realistic stock assessment. S. Berkeley, UC – Santa Cruz

Question… The high temporal and spatial resolution of satellite data, and its continuity, make satellite data an important tool for monitoring and characterizing marine ecosystems. Yet, the full potential of satellite data has not been realized within NMFS, or within fisheries science more generally. Why is satellite data underutilized within NMFS, and what can be done to take advantage of the wealth of information this data can provide?

Length of Time Series Compared to many fisheries datasets the time series of satellite data are relatively short: Sea Ice1979  SST:1985  [2005?] SSH: 1993  Chlorophyll: 1997  Wind: 1999  SardineAnchovy It’s essential that climate quality records of satellite data be maintained! It’s essential that climate quality records of satellite data be maintained! This point needs to be emphasized as NOAA takes over operation of a number of satellite measurements (i.e. ocean color and SSH). From Chavez et al. [Science, 2003] SST SeaWiFS PDO Pathfinder project has lost its funding in 2006….

Data Access Issues It can be difficult to access and manipulate the large depository of existing satellite data. Efforts are underway to address this: New live access server (LAS) and browser at the west coast CoastWatch Node provide access to multiple satellite datasets, in a variety of formats, including IOOS-compatible OPeNDAP technology. Four NMFS scholarships given this year to attend a 2- week satellite course in June at Cornell University. A 3-day course for NMFS and NOS participants on accessing and using satellite data is being planned for Aug at OSU in Corvallis, OR. These activities made possible by funding by NOAA’s R&O project
