Cornell Summer Satellite Remote Sensing Training Course for Biological Oceanographers

Deadline in June 4 - 18, 2010

A two-week summer training course at Cornell University is being offered to marine scientists who have modest or no prior experience with satellite remote sensing techniques. The course is highly methods oriented and intended to give participants the practical skills needed to work independently to acquire, analyze and visualize data sets derived from a wide variety of ocean satellite sensors (e.g., SeaWiFS/MODIS/MERIS, AVHRR, SeaWinds on QuikSCAT and Topex/Jason/ERS1/2).  The course will focus a lot of attention on developing IDL programming skills for effective data analysis.
