Abstract

The goal throughout this book is not simply to present the variety of applications of remote sensing in marine science, but particularly to identify unique contributions to revealing and understanding ocean phenomena made possible by the observational capabilities of sensors viewing the sea from orbiting satellites. In some cases the discovery of new scientific knowledge is mainly of academic interest, but in others it reaches more widely into human society and its application can make an impact on people’s daily lives. This chapter presents examples of such applications. It examines a few separate phenomena that have two things in common: first, they affect the safety and economic wellbeing of significant numbers of people as well as the health of the global environment; second, they rely on, or have the potential to benefit from, satellite oceanography methods to obtain data used for warnings, forecasts, and improved understanding of the phenomenon.
