This summer school was a sequel to the summer school on Remote
Sensing in Meteorology, Oceanography and Hydrology which was held
in Dundee in 1980 and the proceedings of which were published by
Ellis Horwood Ltd., Chichester, England. At the present summer
scnool we concentrated on only part of the subject area that was
covered in 1980. Although there was some repetit ion of material
that was presented in 1980, because by and large we had a new set
of participants, most subjects were treated in considerably greater
detail than had been possible previously. The major topics covered
in the present summer school were (i) the general principles of
remote sensing with particular reference to marine applications,
(ii) applications to physical oceanography, (iii) marine resources
applications and (iv) coastal monitoring and protection. The
material contained in this volume represents the written texts of
most of the lectures presented at the summer school. One important
set of lecture notes was not available; this was for the lectures
on active microwave techniques, principally synthetic aperture
radar, by W. Alpers from Hamburg. For this material we would refer
the reader to "Imaging Ocean Surface Waves by Synthetic Aperture
Radar - A Review" by W. Alpers, which is to appear as chapter 6 in
"Satellite Microwave Remote Sensing" edited by T.D. Allan (Ellis
Horwood, Chichester) which is to be published in 1983."
