An Introduction to Ocean Remote Sensing

Examining the use of satellite data in the retrieval of oceanic physical and biological properties, this study presents examples of the kinds of data that can be acquired and recounts their oceanographic application. It also describes the national and international programs in satellite oceanography of the past two decades, and reviews current and future programs up to 2019. The textbook, designed for graduate and senior undergraduate courses in satellite oceanography, will prepare students and interested scientists to use satellite data in oceanographic research.
