Spaceborne Ocean Intelligence Network: SOIN - Fiscal Year 08/09 Year-End Summary

Abstract

SOIN is a five-year research and operational development initiative that addresses barriers to implementing certain oceanographic applications of the Earth-observation sensors RADARSAT, AVHRR, MERIS and MODIS. The project is divided into two phases with the first three-year phase focusing on developing state-of-the-art sea-surface temperature and diver-visibility products, operational tools, supporting infrastructure and the ability to detect thermal fronts, eddies and water mass boundaries with RADARSAT. The project began in June 2007 with funding provided by the Canadian Space Agency through its Government Related Initiatives Program. This report provides a summary of project activities and accomplishments in FY 08/09 and insight into its objectives for FY 09/10.
