Allison Cusick - Day 2

Potential Plan (still digging through what is available) but some ideas to pursue for class project

1. Create and plot time series (daily ? weekly?) for satellite datasets on western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) (62S to 65S and up to 68S) for one season (Nov 2017 – March 2018)

    1. Chlorophyll-a (match these data with my in situ samples when I see “blooms” "cell abundance counts")
    2. Kd490 diffuse attenuation (match with my secchi depth Kd in situ samples, some of my in situ measurements go to 80m)
    3. SSS (looking for glacial meltwater – fresher near coast, can only see top few cm of sea  0.2 PSS -  that’s OK for me, I only have 0-60m CastAway CTD profiles) – is the resolution even fine enough for the fjords?
  2. Create and plot MODIS visible image (cloud free) time series (?) Which days for WAP are cloud free? Do this match with my own sampling dates in situ? Was there a lot of brash ice in fjords those days?

Hi Allison,

Here is a link that shows the ocean color datasets currently in PolarWatch and lists the composites available. These color datasets all have global coverage. I will plan to demo this in the afternoon session, let me know if you have questions in the meantime.
