NOAA/Coastwatch, NOAA/Polarwatch and NOAA/NMFS/SWFC/ERD are offering a free course on satellite oceanography September 18-20, 2023 in Anchorage, Alaska. While this is the perfect excuse to visit Alaska, the course will be a hybrid course so that you will be able to attend remotely. While the emphasize of the course will be the polar regions, you will learn about satellite oceanography more generally, the different types of data available, and how to access the data you desire. The course emphasizes the use of free, open source software includng R and Python, and the data services used are also free, requiring no enrollment, password or secret handshake.
