Our goal is to develop tutorials for data collection, analysis methods, and visualization techniques used in physical oceanography, using the following paper as a concrete example:
B. Dzwonkowski, S. Fournier, G. Lockridge, J. Coogan, Z. Liu, and K. Park. Hurricane Sally (2020) Shifts the Ocean Thermal Structure across the Inner Core during Rapid Intensification over the Shelf. Journal of Physical Oceanography, 52(11), 2841-2852.
The article combines field data with satellite data to understand the sea surface temperature conditions associated with a hurricane undergoing rapid intensification over the continental shelf.
To follow Hurricane Sally (2020), we will need to find, download, and visualize
- Tropical Cyclone Best Track data (NOAA National Hurricane Center)
- Meteorological and hydrographic data (NOAA National Data Buoy Center)
- Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution (MUR) Sea Surface Temperature (NASA JPL)
