Nasa Goddard Space Flight Center's SeaWiFS
Project (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor) is utilized to measure
bio-optical properties of our global oceans. Located on Orbiting Sciences
Corporation’s (OSC) SeaStar spacecraft, the SeaWiFS instrument collects
ocean color data. The satellite has a sun synchronous orbit at 705 km
above the earth’s surface and collects data in eight wavelength
bands and two telemetry streams. The Global Area Coverage (GAC) sensor
gathers data in a 1502 km-wide swath with a resolution of 4.5 km, whereas
the Local Area Coverage (LAC) encompasses a 2801 km-wide swath with 1.1
km coverage. LAC data is used for this site. If you have any questions,
please contact Rachel Potter.
