NAUSICAA : an advanced tool for the monitoring of coastal areas
)
NAUSICAA is an interactive image browser than can be accessed with any recent web navigator supporting Java. It displays daily mosaics of satellite, model or in situ data over predefined geographical areas. These data may consist of images or vectorial shapes (marks, vectors, contour lines) and can be viewed thanks to enhanced interactive tools (zoom, display and extraction of numerical valuesn contrast adjustment, layer overlapping,...). Nausicaa aims at providing a support to monitoring and understanding the bio-geochemical exchanges in coastal areas (algae blooms, etc...).
Google Earth
Google Earth is a virtual globe program that maps the earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS over a 3D globe. It requires you to download the client Google Earth software which can now run on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Some of CERSAT data can be mapped through this application as additionnal layers to the offered images in standard mode.
Medspiration page for Google Earth View
Merged multi-sensor maps of sea surface temperature are produced daily by CERSAT in the frame of ESA Medspiration and Marcoast projects. The latest image (last 24 hours) as well as all previous maps can be accessed with Google Earth through a dedicated web page on Medspiration web site.
KML File
Near real time QuikSCAT swath (last 48h) are available on google earth. You have to get the kml file (right click and save) and load it in google earth (File -> Open). This kml file enables automatic reload and refresh of displayed information. New data on server side will be updated and displayed.
