Fishermen rely on their on-the-water experience to know where and when to find certain species of fish in the Gulf of Maine, and managers use their knowledge of fish and the fishery to design management policies, such as seasonal closures, aimed at ensuring sustainability.
Learn how to use the NASA Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) State Of The Ocean (SOTO) toolkit to visualize and compare physical oceanography data! Event Date: Jan 30 at 2:00 EST
Ed Armstrong presenting the State of the Ocean (SOTO) in the NASA Booth at the 2017 Fall AGU!
The series spans the complete 3-year, 9-month period of Aquarius science data availability, from August 25, 2011 through June 7, 2015.

We are pleased to announce an update to the PO.DAAC State of the Ocean (SOTO) visualization tool: Version 4.2.1 is now available online at https://podaac-tools.jpl.nasa.gov/soto/.
SWOT will provide high spatial resolution sea surface heights and water height measurements of large rivers and lakes. This survey is designed to help quantify user requirements on the SWOT data distribution and archive system.
From a distance, up beyond the destruction, hurricanes are wondrous acts of nature. They form as a way for very warm ocean waters to discharge heat quickly. They’re these efficient and complex areas where the ocean and atmosphere trade energy; Earth’s way of rapidly transporting accumulated heat energy from the tropical regions to the extra-tropics when the regular oceanic or atmospheric circulation mechanisms are too slow to sufficiently export the extra heat.
With one of its twin satellites almost out of fuel after more than 15 years of chasing each other around our planet to measure Earth's ever-changing gravity field, the operations team for the U.S./German Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission is making plans for an anticipated final science collection.
PO.DAAC has updated the Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) produced MODIS L3 SST datasets from version 2014.0 to 2014.0.1. The MODIS Aqua and Terra SST R2014.0.1 has made two major changes to the SST processing software: correcting misclassification in the SST cloud classifier and improving mapping software by using weighted spatial averaging over nearest neighbor.
