The intent of this project was to test and evaluate a new data collection concept; that of utilizing a "store and forward" message
system in a low earth orbiting satellite, and to determine its suitabilty for oceanographic data telemetry. This new generation of
satellites, dubbed "MicroSats" because of their small size (a 9 in. cube), was developed by the Amateur Radio Satellite
Corporation (AMSAT) to complement the existing HF and VHG terrestral Packet data switching networks.

Evaluation of GEOSAT data and application to variability of the Northeast Pacific Ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1988-09)A portion of the northeast Pacific ocean was chosen within which to evaluate and use altimetric data from the U.S. Navy Geodetic Satellite GEOSAT. The zero-order accuracy of the major GEOSAT geophysical data record (GDR) ... -
Evaluating surface radiation fluxes observed from satellites in the southeastern Pacific Ocean
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-02-20)This study is focused on evaluation of current satellite and reanalysis estimates of surface radiative fluxes in a climatically important region. It uses unique observations from the STRATUS Ocean Reference Station buoy ... -
Continuous movement behavior of humpback whales during the breeding season in the southwest Indian Ocean : on the road again!
(BioMed Central, 2017-05-01)Humpback whales are known to undertake long-distance migration between feeding and breeding sites, but their movement behavior within their breeding range is still poorly known. Satellite telemetry was used to investigate ...
