Many GOOS products rely on remote sensing observations and numerical ocean models. As such the GOOS Project Office (GPO) is often asked for information on how to obtain remote sensing data/products, processing software and numerical model software. In response to that need the GPO has compiled an Internet resource list. This list is narrowly targeted towards remote sensing and ocean modelling. It is not intended to be an all-exhaustive list. (The IOC Ocean Portal and the NASA Global Change Master Directory are examples of such lists). Rather it is a selection of some tools that may be of use in developing national and regional GOOS products.
Please note that inclusion of data, products, software and similar in this list does not in any way imply endorsement by GOOS or the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of these items.
Any comments to the list can be sent to t.aarup@unesco.org.
This table provides a cross-reference between some common ocean variables and the respective satellite missions and sensors.
