- Cornell Summer Satellite Remote Sensing Training Course,
June 1-15, 2012 (Ithaca New York)
A two-week summer training course is being offered once again to marine scientists who have modest or no prior experience with satellite remote sensing techniques. The course is highly methods-oriented and intended to give participants the practical skills needed to work independently to acquire, analyze and visualize large data sets derived from a wide variety of ocean satellite sensors. Strong emphasis is given to ocean color remote sensing and the use of NASA's SeaDAS software to derive of mapped imagery of geophysical parameters (e.g., chlorophyll or CDOM) from raw SeaWiFS, MODIS, MERIS and to a lesser extent VIIRS data. The course also covers data sources and analysis methods to work with satellite imagery of sea surface temperature, ocean wind speed and sea surface height. Data analysis and visualization is a central component of the course and relies on developing good IDL programming skills. IDL programming instruction begins on the first day and continues throughout the two-week period.
