Cornell Summer Satellite Remote Sensing Training Course for Biological Oceanographers. June 4 - 18, 2010.
A two-week summer training course at Cornell University is being offered 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 data sets
derived from a wide variety of ocean satellite sensors (e.g., SeaWiFS/MODIS/MERIS, AVHRR,
SeaWinds on QuikSCAT and Topex/Jason/ERS1/2). The course will focus a lot of attention
on developing IDL programming skills for effective data analysis. For more information
