SeaWiFS Project The purpose of the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Project is to provide quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties to the Earth science community. Subtle changes in ocean color signify various types and quantities of marine phytoplankton (microscopic marine plants), the knowledge of which has both scientific and practical applications. The SeaWiFS Project will develop and operate a research data system that will process, calibrate, validate, archive and distribute data received from an Earth-orbiting ocean color sensor. Jason 1 More information about the Jason 1 program is available at: http://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov Ocean Color Data Resources Quick Link Outline The remote sensing of ocean color from space provides information on the abundance of phytoplankton and the concentration of dissolved and particulate material in surface ocean waters. This information can be used to investigate biological productivity in the oceans, marine optical properties, the interaction of winds and currents with ocean biology, and how human activities influence the oceanic environment. The Goddard DAAC provides access to data from ocean color sensors currently in operation, as well as historical data sets.
