In keeping with the PICES XIII theme of open ocean processes, this session will provide an opportunity to present techniques that animate remotely sensed data such as TOPEX/Poseidon/Jason altimetry, SeaWiFS and MODIS ocean color, and sea surface temperature measurements. Integration of remotely sensed physical, biological and chemical data are solicited especially with regard to oceanic "hot spots" of biological activity. Electronic posters on techniques of data retrieval and archiving are also welcome.
