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) ... -
Satellite observations of chlorophyll, phytoplankton biomass, and Ekman pumping in nonlinear mesoscale eddies
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013-12-02)Nonlinear mesoscale eddies can influence biogeochemical cycles in the upper ocean through vertical and horizontal advection of nutrients and marine organisms. The relative importance of these two processes depends on the ... -
Assessing high-resolution analysis of surface heat fluxes in the Gulf Stream region
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013-10-15)A satellite-based global analysis of high-resolution (0.25°) ocean surface turbulent latent and sensible heat fluxes was developed by the objectively analyzed air-sea fluxes (OAFlux) project. Resolving air-sea flux down ...
