About
Remote sensing data could be used to provide inputs for coastal land use, shoreline changes, etc.Remote sensing data is being used for an operational purpose.The different physical (SST, Currents, etc) and biological products (Ocean Colour) could be derived from satellite data. Derived parameters such as currents (from sequential data) and productivity are important parameters. Shallow water bathymetry and benthic cover can also be derived from satellite data.
Satellites
Satellite missions that are valuable sources of remote sensing data for IOGOOS are:
- INSAT
- MTSAT
- IRS P5/6
- Oceansat1
- Feng Yung
- NOAA AVHRR
- SeaStar
- Hyperion
- Meteosat
- Envisat
- Quickscat
- Topex/Poseidon
- ERS-2
- Jason
New satellite systems to be launched in the near future include:
- Megha Tropiques Oceansat2
- MTSAT
- NPP/NPOESS
- METOP
These platforms variously include visible, infrared, microwave sensing instruments.
