Long-term monitoring of multidisciplinary data
in boundary currents is a high priority for PICES nations. Boundary
currents are locations where many monitoring activities now take
place. They are very important economically and also highly variable
in both space and time. Dense near real-time data from many disciplines
are vital to describe the systems or the timely management of the
coastal resources. Rapid analysis of the data is essential, however,
increased data rates and their diversity are challenging the users.
Cabled arrays and satellite altimeter, color and scatterometer (wind)
measurements are examples of these new dense data sets. This workshop
will discuss the availability of such data and how we can effectively
use them, focusing especially on availability, uses, GIS applications
and other methods of display and analysis tools. A re-population
of the North Pacific Metadata Base will be emphasized. Demonstrations
of data archiving, displays and real time availability are welcome.
