NOAA OceanWatch – Central PacificHow are SST data used? Data is used in various ways: • Public Users (recreational & commercial fishing [HIBT]) • By-catch reduction (TurtleWatch) • Oceanographic Monitoring (EddyWatch) • Research Applications (generation of TS analyses, stdev., climatologies, etc) • Oceanographic Research Cruise Support
NOAA OceanWatch – Central PacificWish List AVHRR-HRPT: - Data processing turn-around time AVHRR-GAC: - data format (netCDF; CWHDF already available?) GOES SST • Is it possible to resolve SST for near-shore? • Increased coverage (Pacific Basin) of historical data (1999-Present) at 4km/pixel
