Description

NEP AVHRR Sea Surface Temperature Archive Web Site
At this website, one can view satellite fields over the regions of interest to the U.S. GLOBEC North-East Pacific (NEP) program ( http://zanclopus.biol.berkeley.edu/lab/globec/globec.html). Funding to create and maintain this web site is provided by NSF (Ocean Sciences - Biological Oceanography) and NASA (Earth Science Enterprise - Biological Oceanography).The viewable satellite fields will eventually include:
(1) Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from the NOAA AVHRR sensors over three regions - the California Current System (CCS), the coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA) and the entire NE Pacific, (NEP) with 1km, 3km and 9km resolutions;
(2) surface pigment concentrations from the SeaWiFS sensor over the CCS and CGOA with 4km resolution;
(3) gridded surface height fields from altimeters over the entire NEP and specific regions, with resolutions to be determined by requests for specific applications.

At present, only AVHRR SST data are available: 9-km resolution Pathfinder fields over the entire NEP and 1-3km resolution fields over the CCS (see below). Actual access of the data is through anonymous ftp at ftp://pisco.oce.orst.edu/ebc To read more about the ftp site: AAGBCREADME.TXT

Other environmental data of interest to U.S. GLOBEC NEP researchers (coastal winds, temperatures, sea levels, upwelling indices, etc)., are available on the website maintained by the Pacific Environmental Fisheries Laboratory ( http://www.pfeg.noaa.gov/index.html).
