Dr. Francisco San Juan

Coastal Habitat Protection Plan

Plan: Collect and integrate existing fisheries, habitat, and other
related data, including:

-Past and present spawning and nursery areas

Critical Fish Habitats:
-Freshwater, esturine and marine areas
-One of the ??? areas to be studied
Chowan River Basin
Northeast NC
Southeast VA

Focus of CHPP Chowan Student
-Linkages between Fisheries and habitats
-Indicators of biological or ecosystem habitat and integrity
-Status and trends measurements
-Evaluation threats to habitat ???
-Use remote sensing to implement the above

How?
-One of the capability of RS is studying the environment

Remote Sensing Plan of Study
-Develop a comprehesive background database for the Chowan River Basin
-Determine the Availability of LANDSAT-7
-Use digital remote sensing techniques to identify specific ??? ??? on images ??? the study area

-Visible/Infrared Images
-Infrared ???
-Microwave Imaging/Sounding

Resolution:
>From 1000m to 250m is a huge jump - makes a remarkable difference.

Coastwatch Data

Coastwatch SST Products

Coastwatch makes product available by
-ocean surface winds ocean
-color

POES SST product

Spatial resolution: 1 or 4 kilometer resolution

Temporal Resolution: Combined coverage of the two polar orbiting satellites provides coverage of any given area approximately every six hours

Data Processing Software

-Data Acquistion
-Data Usage
-How do you decode Coastwatch Data

Dataset Utilies
-get a dimension
-get attribute
-get values
-calculate

Plotting Utility
Plot GIF: ??? Coastwatch data into GIF

Future Plan:

Develop an optimal interpolation (Object Analysis) scheme to produce coastal SST climatologies in all US coastal areas.
