NOAA has renewed a license with GeoEye for OrbView-2/SeaWiFS MLAC data for research and education to continue coverage from June 2010 until Feb 2011. This license includes the contiguous US and adjacent waters. Since Dec 2004, NOAA has been acquiring this high resolution data set from GeoEye for sta...

good morning, it's a pleasure to let everyone know that after much planning, some great teamwork on the part of all the folks involved and thirteen burns, seawifs is now happily orbiting the earth from it's new altitude of 781.5 kilometers. this orbit raising along with a very slight change in the i...

this is to inform the ocean color community and in particular, the users of seawifs data, of the planned maneuver of the spacecraft that carries the seawifs instrument to raise the orbit to reverse the drift of the spacecraft that has been moving it to later in the afternoon as the mission has gone ...

MODIS-Aqua Data Users: The OBPG was intending to start the ocean color reprocessing of MODIS-Aqua yesterday. Unfortunately, we're all buried under 3-4 feet of snow, and the center has been closed for 4 days. So, this is just a notice to let you know that we will be updating information on the web pa...

Dear Members of the Ocean Color Community, A recent editorial on the future of satellite ocean color observations should be of particular interest to members of the ocean color community. This editorial was written by Dave Siegel, Jim Yoder and Chuck McClain and was published in the Ocean Carbon and...

Dear Ocean Color community members:We would like to invite you to present your work in a special session (#6) focused on novel uses of remotely sensed ocean color to study the upper ocean's biogeochemistry (see below) that will take place in the upcoming ASLO meeting in Nice (January 25-30). The abs...
