The enclosed and marginal seas surrounding the European continent
exhibit a wide spectrum of environmental traits, ranging from
sub-polar to sub-tropical climates, from shallow continental
shelves to deep oceanic basins, from pristine marine reserves to
regions impacted by countless economic and recreational activities.
Understanding the inner workings of these seas a" aiming to
reconcile the conflicting needs of protecting their ecological
balance and exploiting their natural resources a" requires adequate
observation systems, integrating both in situ and remote sensing
techniques. This volume reviews the current potential of Earth
Observations, while devoting particular attention to applications
dealing with the issues, peculiarities and special challenges posed
by the European Seas. The assessment of surface parameters by means
of passive techniques a" which measure reflected visible and
near-infrared sunlight, or surface emissions in the thermal
infrared or microwave spectral regions a" is addressed. Active
techniques a" which use transmitted impulses of visible or
microwave radiation, for a subsequent evaluation of the signal
returned by the water surface a" are covered as well. An in-depth
analysis of the specific merits and drawbacks of each spectral
region, and of both passive and active techniques, provides clues
to help compose the unique mosaic of dynamical and bio-geo-chemical
features of the European Seas.
