Description
Summary:Satellite oceanography within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) focuses on observation retrieval and applications to address the NOAA missions of environmental assessment, prediction, and stewardship. The Satellite Oceanography Division encompasses three functional areas: satellite ocean sensors, ocean dynamics / data assimilation, and marine ecosystems / climate. The breadth of scientific investigation includes sea-surface temperature, sea-surface height, sea-surface roughness, ocean color, surface vector winds, sea ice, data assimilation, and operational oceanography.
