High resolution satellite data has the potential to enhance situational awareness, aid in interpreting signals from monitoring stations, and in understanding environmental conditions when working records. However, access to high resolution satellite imagery is currently separate from most day-to-day workflows for field staff. In this listening session we will review available high resolution satellite imagery, gather ideas of how they might be used in field operations and records processing, and explore where they might plug into existing applications. Through collaborative idea generation, we will explore the question "In day-to-day workflows, where and how would it be helpful to have satellite imagery available?” The outcome will be a collective vision of a future where satellite data are delivered at the point(s) of greatest utility to support mission essential hydrologic monitoring tasks.
