Our goal is to develop tutorials data collection, analysis methods, and visualization techniques used in biogeochemistry, using the following paper as a concrete example:
Le, C., Y. Gao, W-J. Cai, J. Lehrter, Y. Bai, and Z-P. Jiang. Estimating summer sea surface pCO2 on a river-dominated continental shelf using a satellite-based semi-mechanistic model. Remote Sensing of Environment, 225, 115-126.
The article describes the use of locally calibrated satellite products to improve the satellite estimation of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in coastal waters.
To follow the estimation of pCO2 in coastal waters, we will need to find, download, and visualize

- ??? Cruises
- U.S. Geological Survey
- Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS, Aqua, NASA ocean color products
