Ocean
Imaging utilizes a variety of satellite sensors to study and operationally
monitor changes in the coastal zone. In addition to daily 1km
resolution images of temperature patterns, currents and plankton
blooms, we utilize 250m and 500m channels on the MODIS sensors
to obtain daily images of smaller coastal processes at higher
spatial resolution. The example here shows a red tide that plagued
some of San Diego's beaches during most of the 2003 summer. The
atmospherically corrected image is comprised of several 500m MODIS
bands.
