Satellite imagery of the oceans has become an invaluable tool for the oceanographer, adding the breadth of synoptic coverage to the depth of in situ measurements at a few points. But the deluge of data and the labor-intensive nature of current methods of processing data pose serious problems for operational interpreters. A prototype expert sytem with a knowledge base of mesoscale oceanographic features is being developed as a step towards a more automated environment to support the oceanographic image analyst.
