SeaWiFS Data Analysis System (SeaDAS)

SeaWiFS Data Analysis System (SeaDAS) is a software toolkit used by scientists to process and analyze data from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) satellite. It helps interpret satellite images of the ocean to measure things like water quality, phytoplankton concentration, and sediment levels. By converting raw satellite data into meaningful information, SeaDAS enables researchers to monitor changes in marine environments, support oceanography studies, and inform environmental management efforts. It’s a critical tool for turning complex satellite signals into actionable scientific insights about the health and productivity of marine ecosystems.
