Dangerous hot-water events, called marine heatwaves, cause prolonged periods of thermal stress in the marine environment that can lead to widespread coral bleaching, harmful algal blooms, unproductive fisheries, and even economic loss. Anticipating the paths of destructive marine heatwaves remains a challenge owing to the complex spatiotemporal evolution of these events. We present a novel open source package called Ocetrac that implements morphological image processing and tracking to aid in the analysis of marine heatwave detection and movement. We discuss how this approach can be applied to monitor other extreme ocean conditions, such as deoxygenation and acidification.
The code in the presentation has been written using Python 3.8. The code and preconfigured environment is all available through the Pangeo Binder below:
In the spirit of a truely open source project, we used reveal.js to create this presentation. The slides are linked to the Ocetrac docs and can be accessed here https://ocetrac.github.io/scipy2021-talk/.
