Software for Ocean-Colour Data |
|
- BEAM Software: The Basic ERS & Envisat (A)ATSR and Meris Toolbox (BEAM) is a collection of executable tools and an application programming interface (API) which has been developed to facilitate the utilisation, viewing and processing of ESA MERIS, (A)ATSR and ASAR data. It can be downloaded fee of charge.
- SeaDAS (SeaWiFS Data Analysis System) is a comprehensive image analysis package for the processing, display, analysis, and quality control of all SeaWiFS data products. It is freely available for download.
- Borstad Associates Satellite Image Toolbox. Free on-line tools and re-assembled datasets to help generate and test ideas, and to facilitate use of remotely sensed imagery in support of oceanographic and limnological research. Most of the datasets focus on the Canadian West Coast, but a very useful
'Temporal Profiler' is available for the entire North West Hemisphere.
- Software for Graphics and Data Analysis
- Software for the calculation of surface solar irradiance and PAR, using SeaWiFS data - written by Robert Frouin and John McPherson.
- WIM (Windows Image Manager) is a general-purpose image display and
analysis programme for various satellite images, including those from ocean
colour sensors (see http://wimsoft.com).
This is commercial software, but it is available for free evaluation. A
major addition to the tools is the WIM Automation Module (WAM), which
allows automating repetitive tasks by writing simple programs using WIM
functions e.g. calculating primary production according to
Behrenfeld-Falkowski model.
- ACRI-ST of France has developed several tools for the commissioning phase of the ENVISAT MERIS and GOMOS instruments. Details are available at http://www.acri-st.fr/tools/
