The 5 biggest questions and answers you have about ocean remote sensing

Leave a reply

Have you ever wanted to access remote sensing data and didn’t know where to start? Well hopefully my talk today gave you some answers to your questions and gave you some tools to get you started.

Here are my slides – with all the links and websites for you to check out:

The five biggest questions and answers you have about ocean remote sensing

A big part of DaSH is lowering the learning curve and removing the barriers to entry into data related science. That’s this talk will aimed to do for the ocean remote sensing space. I did NOT talk about coding. I DID talk a little about how satellites measure biology in the oceans, I DID talk about where you can find this data, and I DID talk about how a novice can plot the data without coding a single line. Any questions or to find out more contact me at http://robtheoceanographer.com/

How to plot in Python

Tired of those ugly plots? Want to learn how to make your figures look nicer?

Python (may be) the answer for you.

Last week (Fri 21st Mar 2014) the super science man Eric Oliver gave us an Oceanographers perspective of plotting in Python. Here are his resources and lecture slides, including a brief into ‘how to’ and then some demos for plotting typical oceanography data (time series, maps, T-S diagrams, etc…).

Eric’s demos – this is a GitHub repo of code and examples.

Meeting on the 14th March

For our meeting this week we have the brilliant Mike Sumner from the Australian Antarctic Division talking about his sexy new R tools to access multi-dimensional grid data (e.g. satellite data like SST, Chl-a, sea ice concentration, etc.). He will also talk about the importance of map projections and some adventures in working around incomplete or inconsistent metadata, as well as the existing R tools for working with raster and vector data, and building extensible tools from these for extracting data.
