17 September 2021 - This year’s CoRP
Science Symposium will be held virtually
November 1 & 2 at the Cooperative Institute for Research
in the Atmosphere (CIRA) of Colorado State University in Fort Collins,
CO. The Symposium brings together members from the NOAA and academic
community to discuss the latest developments in satellite remote sensing
research and applications. The Symposium targets multidisciplinary
research with a focus on early-career scientists and is part of a
larger strategy to promote federal and academic partnerships and collaborations.
This year’s event will focus on building stronger connections between NOAA's
Cooperative Institutes and Cooperative Science Center faculty and students
to promote a more diverse NOAA workforce in the future, with an emphasis
on students, postdocs, and junior scientists as conduits for collaboration.
To participate, please register (free) on the symposium website.
Registration adds you to a mailing list for further information and updates about the Symposium.

OceanView 1.0 (OV) is a web-based visualization application
delivering integrated display of remote sensing, in situ,
and model output data over oceans, coastal waterways, and
inland bodies of water. Today's release is the culmination
of nearly two years of work, starting from vision to design, development, and
implementation. OceanView's release follows a rigorous
development and beta testing period beginning this past winter.
