Regional Satellite Oceanography

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This work addresses the whole range of problems relating to the application of satellite technology to studies of regional seas and sea phenomona - the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshia Current - and coastal zones. It argues that to emphasize global applications is to fail to take into account fundamental idiosyncracies specific to the regional perspective. In addition, it describes implementation techniques - data gathering; in situ data assurance, algorithms for parameter retrieval; data storage; and data output.; The book contains satellite imagery and incorporates case studies from areas such as the Baltic and the Black Sea.

Part 1 Oceanography and remote sensing: satellites and oceanographers;
regional and global satellite oceanography; the concept of regional
satellite oceanography. Part 2 Information used in regional satellite
oceanography: introduction; matching the requirements; satellite data for
regional oceanographic research; autonomous satellite data acquisition
systems. Part 3 Methodological aspects of regional satellite oceanography:
introduction; definitions relevant to collection of subsatellite data; some
field activities at the test areas in selected seas; complex oceanographic
subsatellite experiments COSE; the study of allowed interval of
non-synchronistic AINS; calibration of satellite sensors using natural
"standard" test sites; the use of satellite imagery of IR band in
cloudiness situations; the data processing, database and GIS approach in
regional satellite oceanography. Part 4 Regional satellite oceanography in
action: regional systems; use of regional integrated GIS and satellite
databases for marine applications and coastal zone management; topic
oriented use of satellite data in regional marine and coastal zone
environmental and development activities. Part 5 Regional satellite
oceanography - case study of the Baltic Sea: introduction; the "Baltic
Europe" geographical information system; dynamic processes in the Baltic
Sea as revealed for satellite imagery; satellite monitoring of biological
phenomena and pollution in the Baltic Sea; monitoring of the local marine
and coastal environments in the Neva Bay; concluding remarks.
