THE OCEAN FROM SPACE
Remote sensing of the oceans from space has revolutionized
our understanding of our blue planet. Here we present views
of the oceans through the eye of three sensors, the first
examining the visible color of the oceans, the second using
a radar to map sea level height, and the third using using
infrared emissions to estimate the sea surface temperature.
Processing and access to this data is another research area
made possible by rapid developments in computers and networks.
