SERVIR (Mesoamerican Regional Visualization and
Monitoring System) provides real-time data and video
animations of ocean color (chlorophyll concentrations)
based on MODIS/Aqua data31.
Data Needs
Data
Methods for using ocean color data in coastal areas
are in the developmental stage with established
oceanographic researchers. Regional training in data
collection, analysis, validation and output production
should be offered to enable technicians in the region
to use SeaWiFS and MODIS data for monitoring fluvial
runoff and processes affecting ocean color. We need
to raise public awareness of the existing capacity and
products readily available on the SERVIR website31.
