| Popis: | Three-quarters of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans and they dominate the overall impact on weather and climate system. Yet much about the ocean still remains to be understood, largely due to lack of detailed and accurate observations over the oceans. A satellite platform, with its synoptic view and capability to give spatially continuous data on a repetitive basis has increased the possibilities for studying oceans and ocean-atmosphere system in greater detail and for providing valuable inputs for modelling efforts. Optimum exploitation of ocean resources calls for detailed knowledge of the hydro-biological and related aspects of the environment. Several studies using passive and active models of satellite measurements have proved their potential in understanding the ocean-atmosphere systems. Complementary conventional systems, e.g., ships and buoys, provide detailed temporal and in-depth coverage at specific points, and are used in conjunction with satellite observations over large areas... |
