• Cal/Val at CIOSS Ocean Color
• Ricardo Letelier In situ flowthrough surface
  water optics 5m. Summer, 2000-2002.

• Coincident in situ and satellite (SeaWiFS and
  MODIS) data compiled.
• Analysis beginning.

5

• Cal/Val at CIOSS Ocean Color
• COAST
• Coastal Ocean Applications and Science Team
• GOES-R Risk Reduction
• Mark Abbott, Chair Curt Davis, Executive
  Scientist, PIs in CIOSS and many other
  institutions
• Initial Workshops defined applications and the
  specifications of sensor channels needed to
  address those applications for
• HES-CW Hyperspectral Environmental Suite
  Coastal Water
• Proposals are being submitted (FYO6) for
  activities to simulate the expected data (models
  and HYPERION), develop and validate algorithms,
  examine in water optics in different regions,
  etc.
• In situ field studies will be carried out in
  three different regions
• East Coast
• West Coast
• Gulf Coast

6

• Cal/Val at CIOSS Ocean Color
• Peter Strutton Michelle Wood HABs off Oregon
  identify and track
• Evaluation of MOBY-2 modifications for ocean
  color Cal/Val
• Workshops to evaluate the requirements needed
  for Climate Data Records (CDRs) for ocean color
  products

7

• Cal/Val at CIOSS Ocean Vector Winds
• Mike Freilich
• Use of QuikSCAT to validate Windsat
• Production and evaluation of high-resolution
  QuikSCAT winds (5-12 km)
• Dudley Chelton
• SST influence on surface winds QuikSCAT vs
  Windsat
• Ocean Vector Winds Workshop (Freilich, Chelton,
  Chang)
• Connect research and operational users, discuss
  different requirements of each group
• Discuss and implement Cal/Val approaches for
  Windsat/QuikSCAT
