A wide variety of marginal basins, ranging from polar to equatorial
regions, and a few sizeable enclosed basins, can all be included
among the Asian Seas. The Arctic Ocean shelf seas off Siberia; the
sheltered basins along the Pacific Ocean's western rim; the coastal
seas of the northernmost Indian Ocean, including the semi-enclosed
Red Sea and Persian Gulf; the Caspian Sea, the remnants of the Aral
Sea and a score of brackish or freshwater lakes, such as Lake
Balkhash and Lake Baykal; all exhibit a multiplicity of
environmental features and processes. Understanding the
peculiarities of such a large and varied collection of marine and
coastal types requires integrated observation systems, among which
orbital remote sensing must play an essential role. This volume
reviews the current potential of Earth Observations in assessing
the many Asian seascapes, using both passive and active techniques
in diverse spectral regions, such as measuring reflected visible
and near-infrared sunlight and surface emissions in the thermal
infrared and microwave range, or surface reflection of transmitted
radar pulses in the microwave range. An in-depth evaluation of the
available spectral regions and observation techniques, as well as
of novel multi-technique methods, ensures that suitable tools are
indeed accessible for exploring and managing the wealth of
resources that the Asian Seas have to offer.
