Greetings!
The Remote Sensing Facility of the Department of Marine Science,
University of South Florida, in St. Petersburg, Florida, and
NOAA/AOML/OCD's Coral Health and Monitoring Program, are collaborating to
provide Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) images to the
coral research community. This capability provides researchers with
another tool for gaining a better understanding of the influence of water
masses on the health of coral assemblages. The images are available as a
URL link off the CHAMP Home Page at:
http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov
The AVHRR data has been processed to represent sea surface
temperature (SST) fields. Only images which have 20% or better SST
coverage over water will be displayed, so the most recent image may not be
today's. Past images are archived and available.
At the present time, only AVHRR images of Florida Bay and the
Florida Straits are available, but if you have other reef areas you'd like
to see, or if you have other special requests, please drop a line.
Sincerely yours,
Jim Hendee
