First ocean-color data available from SeaWiFS
Article Abstract:
The ocean-color images from the Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) is expected to assist researches on global warming and the El Nino phenomenon. The SeaWiFS instrument is placed in the OrbView2 commercial satellite by Orbital Sciences Corp which took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The data gathered provides scientists with an overview of the interactions between living organisms and the environment. The plankton blooms associated with upwelling in coastal areas are revealed by the images, which could thus serve as a tool for fisheries management.

Interactive visualization of climate data on the World Wide Web
Article Abstract:
An interactive electronic atlas of climatic products was conceived from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Research Reanalysis Project and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory General Circulation Model on the World Wide Web (WWW). This electronic tool enables users to visualize climatic information or data. Entities that are developing similar atlases are the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Environmental Sciences and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
