NOAA’s New GeoXO Satellite Promises Unprecedented U.S. Coastal Data—See How OCX Will Monitor Ocean in Real-Time by 2030s

NOAA is working on its next generation of advanced geostationary satellites, the Geostationary Extended Observation mission, or GeoXO, after nearly 50 years of GOES satellites providing critical Earth observing data and imagery. One of those instruments being developed by BAE Systems is the Ocean Color Instrument (OCX), which will provide fine-scale data about the US coastal waters and the Great Lakes. Jack Pan, founder of Ocean Motion Technologies, said, “OCX will provide us with near real-time, high-resolution data that is essential for monitoring ocean conditions and making informed decisions that benefit our clients in ocean science and conservation.” This more … Continue reading NOAA’s New GeoXO Satellite Promises Unprecedented U.S. Coastal Data—See How OCX Will Monitor Ocean in Real-Time by 2030s
