SummaryOceanography has traditionally faced a sampling limitation.Satellites allow us to observe large areas quickly, but:Only see the ocean surface;Careful data calibration required for long term data sets.Parameters include: SST, Surface Height, Winds, Ice, Chlorophyll,Fluorescence (Productivity).In the Atmosphere: Profiles: Temperature, Water Vapor, Rain, Ozone, CO 2 .Recent Advances: Salinity (this year), Wind and Height data closer to thecoast and higher resolution; All-Weather SST; Hyperspectral dataNew technologies collect subsurface data in the water – gliders, AUV.Smaller and more power efficient sensors, more chemistry, more biology.Computer models use all of these to predict accurate currents andtemperaturesNeed skilled people to analyze data and advance the science!!
