Visualize Sea Surface Temperature
Summary
Visualize, Analyze Sea Surface Temperature of Japan. The earth is a water planet with about 70% covered with water. Japan is a maritime nation & important to understand the state of the sea.It is said that typhoons occur on warm waters in tropical to subtropical waters. From July to October, there are many typhoons approach and land in Japan.So, we consider to analyze relevant space agency datasets of Aqua Earth-observing satellite.Use NASA WORLDVIEW for analyze, and visualize data.Mainly analyze AQUA MODIS Sea surface temperature (Day,L2) with mapping coastlines. Check the time series changing from 2020-8-1 to 2020-9-30. Finally, visualize temperature changing until 32℃ degree range.
How I Addressed This Challenge
The earth is a water planet with about 70% covered with water.
Japan is a maritime nation, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the state of the sea from the perspectives of fisheries, logistics, remote island conservation, and environmental issues.
It is said that typhoons occur on warm waters in tropical to subtropical waters. (sea surface temperature is 26.5 °C or higher).
From July to October, there are natural disasters such as many typhoons approach and land in Japan, causing heavy rains, floods, storms, high waves, and storm surges.
How I Developed This Project
We consider to analyze relevant space agency datasets of Aqua/Terra Earth-observing satellite.
Furthermore, we use NASA WORLDVIEW for analyze, and visualize data.
How I Used Space Agency Data in This Project
Mainly, we analyze AQUA MODIS Sea surface Temperature(Day,L2) with mapping coastlines.
Then check the time series changing from 2020 August 1st to 2020 September 30th.
We could visualize temperature changing until 32℃ degree range in sea surface of Japan.
