Oceanagraphy from Space
The images at this web site for the Coastal Zone Color Scanner are some of the most striking examples of ocean color data obtained by remote sensing from space. They are used in a set of tutorials to illustrate discussions of selected biological and physical oceanic phenomena.

The purpose of the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Project is to provide quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties to the Earth science community. Subtle changes in ocean color signify various types and quantities of marine phytoplankton Ocean color data have been deemed critical by the oceanographic community for the study of ocean primary production and global biogeochemistry.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) operates a a number of satellites to monitor the World's oceans, primarily for weather monitoring. However, the same data is highly useful to marine scientists. Scroll down to see the links for the sea surface temperature and seafloor topography areas.
