  1. Tools for Data Access and Application Dave Foley CoastWatch Coordinator Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research University of Hawaii Fisheries Applications of Satellite Data Corvallis, OR August 22, 2006

  2. Overview • Data and derived products made available • Various access mechanisms • Choosing tools appropriate to the application • Outline of Laboratory Section of the course

  3. Early Platforms - Balloon

  4. Early Autonomous Platforms

  5. Composite product

  6. Composite Images • Integrate across time on one platform to mitigate obscuring by clouds • Integrate across sensors and platforms (e.g., microwave and Ifrared, polar-orbiting and geostationary)

  7. Composite (what we want to use)

  8. A Real-Time Blended SST Product using 2DVAR Data Sources: AVHHR, GOES, AMSR-E, TMI, and in-situ

  9. Blended 5-day SST

  10. New Regional Coverage

  11. Include those from satellite sensors that measure SST Ocean color Ocean winds, and Sea surface height. Satellite Ocean Data and Data Products

  12. Deliver Useful Products • Easily Accessed (flexible systems) • Acquisition • Transportable formats • Value-added products • Relevant • Simple (indices, thresholds, anomalies) • Sample applications

  13. Products for NMFS • Convergence time series • Marine debris • Long-line fisheries • Interaction of LL fishery and turtles • Blended SST • Mesoscale oceanography • Geolocation • Primary Productivity

  14. Products for NMFS • Surface ocean currents • Larval transport • Analysis • Extracted time series (simple) • Program design • Data acquisition • Context for data analysis

  15. New Satellite Products • Solar irradiance (GOES and GMS) • GOES frontal probability Index • Upwelling Index (PAR, wind, Chl a, SST and SSH) • Convergence index (Wind, Chl a, SST)

  16. Product Development • Specific NOAA needs identified • Utilize existing infrastructure and human resources when possible • CoastWatch (funded by NESDIS) • OceanWatch (joint effort NMFS/NESDIS) • Partner with external agencies for data access and new product development • Partner with people who know the critters.
