Overflight Prediction Information

For calibration and validation purposes, in situ measurements should be made as close to the sensor over-flight time as is possible. To aid investigators in determining when sampling should occur, the OceanColor Project offers over-flight predictions for all operational ocean color remote sensors.

Near-Real Time Image Information

To support on-going cruise activities, the OceanColor project can provide near real-time images (email of FTP images in png format. HDF files can also be made available via FTP ) from MODIS (currently Aqua ONLY). Level-2 standard products are available for MODIS-Aqua. These images may provide useful information in cruise planning both prior to and during oceanographic cruises.
In order to provide users with the ability to create and modify image support requests interactively, registration is necessary for this service.

SeaWiFS Onboard LAC Scheduling Information

SeaWiFS has the capability to record high resolution data on-board the satellite.  This is useful for collecting high resolution data in areas of the world not adequately covered by HRPT ground stations.  The OceanColor project acts as liason between the scientific community and SeaWiFS Mission Operations for the scheduling of on-board LAC.
