En savoir plus sur le livre
This companion volume offers a broad-ranging introduction and review of satellite remote sensing applications in oceanography, distinct from its predecessor, Measuring the Oceans from Space. The five-year journey of preparing this book has been driven by the compelling nature of the subject. The exploration of scientific literature has revealed exciting and significant advancements in satellite oceanography globally. The aim is to inspire readers to appreciate how space-based sensors provide new perspectives on oceanographic phenomena and enhance ocean science to meet modern civilization's needs. Targeted primarily at postgraduate and senior undergraduate students, this work builds on the systematic explanation of diverse satellite oceanography methods, scientific knowledge, and innovative technology developed since the launch of the first dedicated ocean satellite in 1978. However, the importance of satellite oceanography extends beyond a niche interest in observational instrumentation and data-processing techniques. The recent availability of high-quality, processed satellite data has produced remarkable and inspiring ocean imagery that can convey powerful narratives on their own.
