Remote Sensing Oceanographic Variables  Collecting oceanographic information can be time consuming and costly when on ship board surveys, so many research organizations such as NASA, have been looking at ways to use satellites to collect these variables from space. Using the wavelengths reflected from the earth researchers have been able to use satellites to collect oceanographic information on sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a concentrations, sea surface height, winds, and many derived datasets such as sea surface temperature fonts. We are developing techniques to integrate these data sources with our GIS system to help quantify movements, locations, and key habitats. Visit the SST Front Page to learn how to download and import Sea Surface Temperature Fronts from the DODS server and into a GIS format.
