1st NEARGOOS-NOWPAP Training Course on Remote Sensing Data Analysis
The Special Monitoring and Coastal Environmental Assessment Regional Activity Centre (CEARAC), one of the four Regional Activity Centres (RACs) of the Northwest Pacific Action Plan (NOWPAP), will conduct an intensive training course on the remote sensing data analysis in the Northwest Pacific Region, at Nagasaki University, Nagasaki, Japan from 3-7 September. The course will consist of lectures by specialists and hands-on practical sessions on analysis of satellite data. The course will provide an overview of remote sensing of ocean colour with special emphasis on applications of ocean colour relevant to the Northwest Pacific Region.
The training course is targeted at postgraduate students, professional researchers and local government officers working in the fields of marine sciences and coastal-zone management in the Northwest Pacific Region. The course aims to contribute to capacity building for monitoring and assessment of marine and coastal environment in the Northwest Pacific Region through technical assistance on ocean remote sensing techniques.
Topics to be addressed will include: satellite oceanography and sensor characteristics; and operation of remote sensing software, as well as case studies for the open ocean and coastal environment.
NEAR-GOOS (North-East Asian Regional-Global Ocean Observing System) is a regional pilot project of GOOS in the Northeast Asian Region, implemented by China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation as an Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Regional Secretariat for the Western Pacific (IOC/WESTPAC) activity.
