OPTICAL REMOTE SENSING OF OCEAN HYDRODYNAMICS (HB 2019) Hardcover

Published in hardcover in 2019, "Optical Remote Sensing of Ocean Hydrodynamics" likely provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of using optical sensors mounted on satellites, aircraft, or other platforms to study the dynamic movements and properties of the ocean. This book probably delves into the theoretical foundations of how light interacts with the ocean surface and subsurface, and how these interactions can be measured and interpreted to extract information about various hydrodynamic phenomena. Expect coverage of topics such as ocean surface waves, currents, internal waves, tides, and turbulence, as well as the optical properties of water and the atmosphere. 1 The book will likely discuss different types of optical sensors, data processing techniques, and the use of remote sensing data in oceanographic research, coastal management, and maritime applications. This resource would be valuable for oceanographers, remote sensing scientists, coastal engineers, and researchers interested in utilizing optical techniques to understand the complex dynamics of the ocean.
