NOAA's Coastal Remote Sensing Ocean Color Applications (OCA) Project
Websites - Institutional website
Information about the NOAA CSC cruises that are used for validating satellite ocean color algorithms is online. Selected data are available through the on-line data selection system, Coastal Bio-optical data Analysis and Storage System (CoBASS). All cruises are shown on the main cruise location map, and the cruises in two regions: New England and the South Atlantic Bight, are shown in detailed maps. The cruise schedule shows the dates, vessel, geographic area, and cruise name for each cruise. All available data and cruise reports can be accessed from the individual cruise pages by clicking the cruise names on the main map or on the cruise schedule. The individual cruise pages contain a detailed map of the cruise, a table of station locations, and links to the oceanographic data collected. Recent cruises on the map or in the table may not be currently linked to a cruise report page.
