Seeking community feedback on applications of GLIMR

The Geostationary Littoral Imaging and Monitoring Radiometer (GLIMR) mission will be NASA’s first geostationary, hyperspectral ocean color sensor to study ocean processes at the spatial and temporal scales required to observe the dynamic ecological, biogeochemical and physical processes typical of coastal and ocean waters. We would like to invite you to fill out a short survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GLIMR), to provide
