Now that measurements of global salinity are being regularly collected by Aquarius, what type of phenomena are being observed with the data? In this webinar seven months after launch NASA scientists Dr. Gary Lagerloef and Dr. Yi Chao highlight several months of data, focusing on interesting regions of salinity change and what the data are already teaching us about the global ocean. Webinar Archive You can watch a video of the webinar below. Below the video is also a link to an interactive concept map so that you can follow along with the presentation. Concept Map The webinar features a map created by Yi Chao, Gary Lagerloef and Yi Chao entitled, "What Are We Learning from Aquarius Data?" You can explore the concept map in the window below, or save it to your own CLIMB account. Additional Resources
About The Presenters
Dr. Lagerloef completed a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography at the University of Washington in 1984. From 1988-1990, he served as the NASA Physical Oceanography Program Manager in the ocean science remote sensing program. In 1995, he co-founded Earth and Space Research, a non-profit scientific research institute in Seattle where he has developed several research projects devoted to studies of the upper ocean dynamics and climate variability using satellites. Dr. Lagerloef was appointed by NASA to lead the Aquarius/SAC-D satellite mission in December 2003.
Yi Chao
Dr. Chao received his Ph.D. from Princeton University (Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Program, NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory). His research interests include satellite oceanography with a particular focus on coastal oceans; ocean modeling, data assimilation and forecasting. interdisciplinary science of coupling ocean circulation with ecosystem and air-sea interactions; and climate variability and change.
