Applications of Satellite Remotely-Sensed Oceanographic Data to Sea & Ecosystems
September 22, 4:45pm - 5:45pmMānoa Campus, UH Hilo, University Classroom Building (UCB), Room 100
Presenter: Jeffrey Polovina, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, NOAA
Abstract: For the past decade Polovina and the team at NOAA’s Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center have developed and applied methods for using satellite measurements of sea surface height, surface wind, ocean color, and sea surface temperature to describe the ocean dynamics around Hawaii. Dr. Polovina and team has found sea surface height useful in estimating geostrophic currents and changes in the depth of the thermocline. Ocean color has provided estimates of surface chlorophyll which is used both to monitor summer blooms and the boundary of water masses. Surface wind data provides an estimate of surface currents. Sea surface temperature has been useful in detecting cold-core eddies. Examples of applications of these data will be presented to describe some aspects of the ocean dynamics around the Hawaiian Archipleago. Approaches to merging satellite and biological data will be discussed.
