Mini project ideas
-
Assess data quality
-
Download a selection of images for a region of interest
-
Look at the data flags that are raised for your region
-
Are they consistent in time/space?
-
Summarise how these flags might influence your use of different parameters.
-
Assess how you might progress use of satellite data in this region:
-
Which products might you preferentially use?
-
Could you collect in situ data to help clarify your understanding of the data?
-
Do you need to refine atmospheric correction?
-
Could you develop a new product give your knowledge of the region.
-
Would you be better using a merged/binned product?
-
-
-
Compare more than one type of satellite data
-
Download data for a region of interest
-
Assess how different parameters relate to each other.
-
Are they correlated?
-
Why is this? What is the cause?
-
-
- Investigate resolution
-
Download OLCI data for a region of interest for a few day
-
Download some data from CMEMS for a similar period but with different spatial/temporal resolution
-
Download some Sentinel-2 data (if you are working in a coastal area
-
What differences do you see with the changes in resolution?
-
- Hunt for a feature
-
Think of an ocean phenomena that you are aware of
-
What sort of variability in ocean characteristics could link this phenomena with satellite data (e.g. a change in chlorophyll/SST/SSH, a particular pattern).
-
Have a look through some satellite data and see if you can find your phenomena of interest.
-
What products would be best to use for this purpose?
-
Can you think of any errors/uncertainties that might affect your use of this data for feature detection?
