Ship-track viewer

Easily browse all the ship-tracks detected in Watson-Parris et al. 2022 using our machine learning algorithm. Each track as an associated MODIS timestamp so you can easily match with the underlying data. See the ship-track detection page for more details on their importance and effects.

Info:

Note, these tracks have been simplified and compressed for easy browsing. They are also not always very obvious in RGB imagery shown above, but the detection algorithm uses a microphysical composite as described in the paper. If you need the exact tracks used in our analysis please see the links below.

Data

  • The shiptrack database can be found on Zenodo
  • The raw inference masks are much bigger but also freely available here
