Webinar: NOAA PolarWatchSTAR Seminar Series, August 29, 2019NOAA PolarWatch is the newest satellite data distribution portal of NOAA's CoastWatchprogram. The portal offers a single location for federal agencies, research groups, and privateindustry to obtain the most recent and historical satellite observations of Arctic and Antarcticwaters, including measurements of sea ice cover, ocean temperature, and winds.We will provide an overview of the data and services provided by PolarWatch with examplesthat demonstrate supporting safety at sea, navigation, fishing, transportation, tourism, andrecreation. We will also highlight user training materials and training courses that are designedto encourage the use of polar satellite data by broad audiences.www.polarwatch.noaa.govNOAA PolarWatch
