Monitoring Coastal and Estuarine Water Quality: Transitioning from MODIS to VIIRS

Part 1: Overview of Remote Sensing Observations for Water Quality Monitoring in Estuaries

This session will include background information about estuaries and their water quality, provide an introduction to recent satellites and sensors relevant for monitoring water quality, provide a comparison of MODIS and VIIRS for water quality monitoring and showcase a demonstration of VIIRS data acquisition.

Optional: Although NOT A PREREQUISITE, in this series there will be a demonstration of SeaDAS/Ocean Color Science Software (OCSSW) for MODIS and VIIRS Image Processing in the Chesapeake Bay. If you wish to follow along with this demonstration, please: Install SeaDAS: https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/
