This document provides detailed procedures for collecting and processing imagery using Structure-from-Motion techniques developed by Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) in collaboration with Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Hawaii a...

The Coral Reef Watch program of NOAA develops and provides remote sensing tools for the conservation of coral reef ecosystems. Reef managers and other stakeholders have expressed a desire for higher resolution monitoring tools than those currently availab...

This document is intended as a reference and provides guidelines for training, sampling, and data entry for the monitoring of reef fish populations as part of the Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (Pacific RAMP) led by the Coral Reef Ecosyste...

This 2018 document update is intended as a reference and provides guidelines for training, sampling, and data entry for the monitoring of coral populations and benthic communities as part of the Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (Pacific RAMP...

All survey data acquired by the Special Projects Operation Team (SPOT) were acquiredwith Survey Vessel s3004. Vessel s3004 has one sonar mounting arm on the starboard side of the vessel from which only one of the Units three sonar systems- Reson 8125 mult...

Product shows local sea surface temperatures (degrees C). It is a composite gridded-image derived from 8-km resolution SST Observations. It is generated every 48 hours for North America. SST is defined as the skin temperature of the ocean surface water.

The 4 km Pathfinder effort at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) and the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) is an extension of and improvement...

The purpose of this manual is to document the sampling operations, data archiving procedures, and reporting requirements used by NOAA Ocean Exploration for expeditions on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. While this manual is specific to NOAA Ocean Exploration,...

The mapped data derived from AVHRR is divided into files for CoastWatch regions of interest. Each file contains multiple data variables stored using the HDF-4 Scientific Data Sets (SDS) model. The product contents are channel 1 albedo, channel 2 albedo, c...

Here, we outline a method of directly measuring coral vital rates via structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry — an image processing technique capable of reconstructing accurate, orthorectified representations of the seafloor and the coral communities t...
