GSFC, NASA NATURAL VARIABILITY: Where do you put a mooring? Where do drive the ship? When should I be out there? Thanks Mossian (NASA) and Wilkins (Rutgers) -SPATIAL RESOLUTION YES, TEMPORAL RESOLUTION REASONS?
In NorthEast United States: Build up afternoon thunder heads and cumulus compromise passes later in to afternoon. Morning passes get through passes a few hours later do not FY1-C ch9/ch7 August 17, 2000 13:20 GMT SeaWiFS - Chl-a August 16, 2000 17:17 GMT Benefits of high frequency -Weather: Local weather can compromise imagery if the pass is unfortunately timed.
PROBLEM: CROSS CALIBRATING DIVERSE SYSTEMS The current mode to overcome these diel weather effects, is to tap into multiple satellite systems. Problems: -getting access to all Available systems -some systems only release derived products, can’t easily compare raw data or calculate evolving products -distributed sampling over the day. OCM passes ~ 20 minutes after SeaWIFS. -If you want real-time feed you need both X-band and L-Band facilities
REGIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY WHERE THESE DIEL • EFFECTS MAY IMPORTANT • - Gulf of Maine: Morning fog and haze • Mid & South Atlantic Bights: Afternoon cumulus, afternoon sea breezes • Gulf of Mexico: Afternoon cumulus, afternoon sea breezes • West Coast United States: Morning fog and haze -High frequency data will enable researchers by collecting data throughout the day. This maximizes the potential of collecting imagery during the “open” window of time. This window will vary with region and ocean.
