Ocean acidification monitoring with EO-derived salinity and temperature

 Empirical algorithms using satellite observed salinity from SMOS and Aquarius, as well as CCI SST, have been demonstrated to be suitable to calculate total alkalinity and total dissolved inorganic carbon, and reproduce the wider spatial patterns of these two variables. Improving our ability to monitor ocean carbonate chemistry has become a priority as the …

Ocean Virtual Data Lab

An online environment has been developed in the last few years for oceanographers to discover the existence of all available and co-located EO and related model/in-situ datasets and to handle them jointly in a convenient, flexible and intuitive way. The current version includes more than 350 datasets and is mostly focused on the Agulhas region. …
