Fully updated, with significant new coverage of advances in
satellite oceanography and results from new satellite missions, the
second edition of this popular textbook introduces students to how
remote sensing works, how to understand observations from
Earth-observing systems, and the observations' importance to
physical and biological oceanography. It provides full explanations
of radiative transfer, ocean surface properties, satellite orbits,
instruments and methods, visible remote sensing of biogeochemical
properties, infrared and microwave retrieval of sea surface
temperature, sea surface salinity retrieval, passive microwave
measurements, scatterometer wind retrieval, altimetry and SAR. Also
included are descriptions of the online archives where data can be
obtained, and readers can obtain online tools for working with the
data - enabling hands-on engagement with real-world observations.
This is an ideal textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate
students in oceanography, remote sensing and environmental science,
and a practical resource for researchers and professionals working
with oceanographic satellite data.
