Time period of temporary agreement (3 months maximum). Start Date (month/day/year): 06/17/2004 End Date (month/day/year): 09/17/2004 SeaWiFS HRPT Station to provide data: HNSG List of Authorized Users to access real-time data. 1. Peter Brickley 2. Emmanuel Boss 3. Andrew Thomas Project Title: A One Year Pilot Study For The Inclusion of Active Optical Sensors Into Floats Principal Investigator(s): Emmanuel Boss Funding Agency(s): NASA Description of the Research Project and Justification for Real-time SeaWiFS Data: We will use ocean color data to compare it with a profiling float measuring chlorophyll fluorescence, backscattering, oxygen and CTD every five days. This float project, to enhance profiling float with biogeochemical measurements was itself funded by NASA. The satellite data will provide a spatial context to the float while the float will provide a depth context to the satellite data. We will contrast the float measurements with backscattering, chlorophyll, and primary production products of NASA EOS.
