EAS 7500
Satellite Remote Sensing Training for Biological Oceanographers

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This intensive summer training course meets from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a two-week period. The goal of the course is to teach participants the skills needed to work independently to acquire data sets derived from a variety of satellite sensors (SeaWiFS, MODIS, AVHRR, SeaWinds and Topex-Poseidon) and to merge these data sets to examine biological response to changes in the physical environment. Course time is split equally between lectures and computer lab work. Lectures cover the fundamentals of bio-optics, pigment algorithms, primary production algorithms and the underlying physical principals leading to the measurement of sea surface temperature, ocean wind speed and ocean topography. Computer labs focus on developing the IDL (Research Systems, Inc.) programming skills needed to process, analyze and visualize satellite image data. See the course syllabus for more details on the topics covered in this course.
