Join the discussion

In the run-up to writing the proposal, ODYSEA hosted a weekly webinar on Tuesdays at 8 am Pacific to advance community discussion of key science. With support from OASIS (Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy), the webinar now continues with a multi-satellite focus on "Air-sea flux from space". Sign-up for email notifications here.
