What is Eddy Watch Hawaii?

Eddy Watch Hawaii is a continuous satellite-based Sea-Surface Temperature (SST) monitoring program that functions at NOAA OceanWatch - Central Pacific (Honolulu, Hawaii). It was implemented with the objective of detecting, monitoring and assessing the formation of marine eddies. This is done through the use of daily satellite-based SST information collected by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) at a pixel resolution of approximately 6 km.
