Satelli te oceanography, as the term is used in this book, is a
generic term that means application of the technology of aerospace
electromagnetic remote sensing to the study of the oceans. The key
words here are "application of technology **. to the study of the
oceans." The goal is to learn more about our planet's hydrosphere.
As such, remote sensing technology is another tool in the
oceanographer's sea bag, just like a bathythermograph or a plankton
net. But is a whole book necessary if remote sensing is just
another tool? While it is true that no one has written a whole book
on plankton nets, volumes have been written about what is found in
those nets. Today's state-of-the-art measurements from spacecraft
or aircraft first must be interpreted in terms of their physics;
then the interpretations must be understood in terms of oceanic
processes. This is not materially different from the analogy to Ii
plankton net; marine biolo gists still argue about what didn't get
caught in the net.
