LME observations are integrated into a system of data and information<br />

processing for applications to LME projects. An application of satellite remote<br />

sensing for linking in situ subsurface chlorophyll and temperature data with<br />

surface data is depicted in Figure 7, illustrating <strong>the</strong> integration of SeaWiFS<br />

chlorophyll data and AVHRR SST data with in situ subsurface data. Also<br />

included in <strong>the</strong> suites of indicators for changing conditions in <strong>the</strong> productivity<br />

module are measurements of oceanographic variability.<br />

Figure 7. Schematic illustrating <strong>the</strong> electronic integration of <strong>the</strong> Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view<br />

Sensor (SeaWiFS) Chlorophyll data and AVHRR Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data with in<br />

situ subsurface data. In situ sensors add depth to <strong>the</strong> relatively shallow section of sea surface<br />

interpreted remotely from satellite sensors.<br />
