Shipboard, Remote Sensing, & Database Activities Image from John Ryan

Kudela Lab Shipboard Data: - Underway shipboard data (TSG, Fluor) - CTD data (with fluor, ancillary measurements) - Bottle chlorophyll and ancillary measurements - Nutrients (prior to August 2006) Remote Sensing: - NRT access to satellite data - Interface with NOAA through Dave Foley and Rick Stumpf - Process-oriented studies Database: - Took over in 2006 - Interface with Brian Fulfrost, Todd Anderson, Rondi Robison

Shipboard Data § All CTD data through May 2006 consistently reprocessed – Manually inserted surface values, fluor from upcast when necessary § Underway data through July 2005 QA/QC’d § All chlorophyll and nutrient data QA/QC’d – GFF, 1 µm, 10 µm, Nitrate, Phosphate, Silicate § Ancillary data in various stages of processing

Remote Sensing § Near-Real Time data available @ – http: //oceandatacenter. ucsc. edu/NRT/ – Also from CIMT webpage § Complete dataset from Rick Stumpf for Sea. Wi. FS (1997 -2005) available § Better cloud-masked data for Coast. Watch SST available § Working on iterative EOF method to develop cloud-free imagery

CIMT Database Activities § Took over as lead in 2005/2006 § Progress: – – Mapped existing My. SQL database Moved to new hardware, with backup Todd Anderson has been keeping the LAS up Collecting data from data providers for update § To Do: – Hire database support person – Probably move to Post. Gres for better mapserver support – Working with Brian Fulfrost and Rondi on data output

Moving from Science to End-Users § Established collaboration with CCLEAN – Added urea, ammonium measurements for 2006 – Mapping satellite data to river flow § Outreach to Dave Jessup @ OSPRS – Providing customized satellite imagery – Working with them on non-point source pollution issues § Working with CDHS, provided backround and imagery to Animal Planet, Sea Studios § NOAA is interested in testing improved GNOME model for event tracking
