Automated match ups allow us to maintain and improve the products of current satellite ocean color sensors (MODIS,
MERIS), and new sensors (VIIRS). As part of the VIIRS mission preparation, we have created a web based automated
match up tool that provides access to searchable fields for date, site, and products, and creates match-ups between
satellite (MODIS, MERIS, VIIRS), and in-situ measurements (HyperPRO and SeaPRISM). The back end of the system
is a 'mySQL' database, and the front end is a `php' web portal with pull down menus for searchable fields. Based on
selections, graphics are generated showing match-ups and statistics, and ascii files are created for downloads for the
matchup data. Examples are shown for matching the satellite data with the data from Platform Eureka SeaPRISM off
L.A. Harbor in the Southern California Bight.
