Welcome to New Hampshire. Workshop on the Regional Needs for Coastal Remote Sensing.
E N D
Workshop on the Regional Needs for Coastal Remote Sensing Workshop Purpose: Identify and document space-based remote sensing requirements of the RAs and identify commonalities. This will be the first in a series of biennial workshops on the topic. This workshop will focus on satellite remote sensing needs. New England Center University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH October 3-5, 2006
Workshop on the Regional Needs for Coastal Remote Sensing Outcome: A written report documenting regional requirements for remote sensing data, derived products, and common requirements for all regions. Sponsors: NOAA, NASA, Ocean.US and NFRA. New England Center University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH October 3-5, 2006
