AIMS Remote Sensing Data (Great Barrier Reef Subset)
This dataset consists of products generated from satellite remote sensing data received at AIMS or obtained from other sources.Currently there are three products: (Skin) Sea Surface Temperature (SST); Chlorophyll-a (Chl a); and Diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490nm (K490). The SST data are derived from data from the AVHRR sensor on the NOAA series satellites received at AIMS and currently covers the period from June 2003 to present. This dataset will be expanded back to 1990 in the near future. The Chl a and K490 ( an ocean turbidity proxy) are derived from data from the SeaWiFS sensor on board the Orbview-2 satellite. These products are available for the period January 1998 to August 2005.The datasets will also be augmented with data from the MODIS sensor on the EOS satellites. This data will be sourced from NASA for the period prior to installation of the AIMS X-band ground-station and then from directly received data.
To provide ready access to satellite remote sensing products covering the GBR subset region.
The dataset contains products generated from SeWiFS data covered by a "Research use only" agreement with GeoEYE and may only be used for research or educational purposes.

- Statement
- Statement: SST component: The data is calculated using the NLSST algorithm with NOAA Coastwatch coefficients. The cloud-clearing algorithm was developed at AIMS and needs to be reviewed and improved/replaced (perhaps with CLAVR). The cloud clearing is the greatest quality issue with the SST and renders it unsuitable for unsupervised post processing such as time averages.Ocean Colour component:This data is generated using an earlier processing regime than that currently available. The data will be re-processed using the current algorithms as time permits. The data still provides a high quality level but will be improved.
