Monitoring Coastal and Estuarine Water Quality Using Remote Sensing and In Situ Data (2-part event)
- Start Date:
- Nov. 30, 2021
- End Date:
- Dec. 7, 2021
- Description:
- This two-part, advanced webinar series is a hands-on training with demos provided by instructors, followed by an hour of lab time for participants to use Level-1 MODIS and VIIRS data provided by the Ocean Biology DAAC (OB.DAAC) and SeaDAS and OCSSW software for deriving water quality parameters. These will include chlorophyll-a concentration, sea surface temperature, and suspended particulate matter from optical satellite imagery and in situ measurements.
- Targeted Audience:
- This training series is intended for federal, state, regional, and local public and private organizations involved in water quality and estuarine ecosystem management.
- Expected Outcomes:
- Learning Objectives: By the end of this series, attendees will be able to: • Select in situ water quality data from SeaBASS • Develop algorithms from MODIS and VIIRS imagery using SeaDAS to obtain chlorophyll-a, sea surface temperature, and suspended particulate matter • Monitor water quality in selected coastal and estuarine regions
