Abstract

Reliable, accurate, and timely information about oceans is important for many applications, including water resource management, hydrological cycle monitoring, environmental studies, agricultural and ecosystem health applications, economy, and the overall health of the environment. In this regard, remote sensing (RS) systems offer exceptional advantages for mapping and monitoring various oceanographic parameters with acceptable temporal and spatial resolutions over the oceans and coastal areas. So far, different methods have been developed to study oceans using various RS systems. This urges the necessity of having review studies that comprehensively discuss various RS systems, including passive and active sensors, and their advantages and limitations for ocean applications. In this article, the goal is to review most RS systems and approaches that have been worked on marine applications. This review paper is divided into two parts. Part 1 is dedicated to the passive RS systems for ocean studies. As such, four primary passive systems, including optical, thermal infrared radiometers, microwave radiometers, and Global Navigation Satellite Systems, are comprehensively discussed. Additionally, this article summarizes the main passive RS sensors and satellites, which have been utilized for different oceanographic applications. Finally, various oceanographic parameters, which can be retrieved from the data acquired by passive RS systems, along with the corresponding methods, are discussed.

International Journal of Oceanography & Aquaculture, 2019

Remote sensing (RS) has a wide range of applications in the field of physical, biological, coastal, satellite oceanography. RS in Oceanographic research is the collection of oceanographic, monitoring of coastal and oceanic processes data and analysis various processes using space borne and air borne sensors. RS offers many advantages over conventional procedures such as synoptic coverage, repeated observations, and area averaging. The main applications are ocean weather and climate studies, measuring primary productivity, water quality monitoring, detection of potential fishing zone, marine life assessment, marine pollution monitoring, determination of near shore bathymetry and mapping, sensing of ocean current and wave, human impacts on marine and coastal life etc. This study aims to identify and explain the importance of RS, advancements, rationality of applications, and future trends in oceanic research.

Satellite Remote Sensing in Support of an Integrated Ocean Observing System
Nan Walker

IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine, 2013

Earth observing satellites represent some of the most valued components of the international Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), both part of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). In the United States, such satellites are a cornerstone of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), required to carry out advanced coastal and ocean research, and to implement and sustain sensible resource management policies based on science. Satellite imagery and satellite-derived data are required for mapping vital coastal and marine resources, improving maritime domain awareness, and to better understand the complexities of land, ocean, atmosphere, ice, biological, and social interactions. These data are critical to the strategic planning of in situ observing components and are critical to improving forecasting and numerical modeling. Specifically, there are several stakeholder communities that require periodic, frequent, and sustained synoptic observations. Of particular importance are indicators of ecosystem structure (habitat and species inventories), ecosystem states (health and change) and observations about physical and biogeochemical variables to support the operational and research

Microwave Remote Sensing of the Ocean: a Review
和夫 大内

Journal of remote sensing, 1992

Apart from its potentially rich information, there are two main reasons for the use of microwaves. The first is their capability of penetrating cloud cover, and being active sensors they do not rely on the sun as a source of illumination; microwave sensors have all-weather, day/night sensing capability. The second reason is the information in the microwave band is different from other bands such as visible and infrared bands. Clearly, the combined use of these informations in different bands increases the remote sensing ability. Presently three main spaceborne sensors are in operation: a radar altimeter, a scatterometer and SAR, and the present article is a review on the principles of these sensors and their applications to the ocean. Only brief accounts are given since detailed discussions can be found in any appropriate literature [e.g. 1-7] and references therein. 2. Radar Altimeter A radar altimeter is a conceptually simple yet remarkable instrument for its variety of information contents associated with the ocean surface topography, currents, wave heights, wind speed and sea ice. Essentially it is a nadir-pointing timing device to measure the distance between the sensor and the sea surface, by transmitting and receiving a short pulse in the downward vertical direction. Fine range resolution requires a generation of very short

Problems and future directions in remote sensing of the oceans and troposphere: A workshop report
Chris G Rapley, Pierre De Mey-Frémaux

Journal of Geophysical …, 1986

This paper attempts to identify the gaps and limitations in our ability to remotely sense the oceans and troposphere from air and space platforms. We set down the directions that offer solutions and new opportunities for advancing the state of the art. The needs are clearly related to the scientific problems. Special attention is given to the synergistic benefits of simultaneous observations because of the interdependence of the remotely sensed parameters and the problem areas to which they are directed. Emphasis is also given to the adaptation of spaceborne remote sensing to aircraft platforms and vice versa. The problem areas covered are (1) directional ocean wave spectra, (2) ocean surface winds, (3) ocean circulation, (4) sea ice, (5) a subset of atmospheric measurements, and (6) air-sea interaction. us together and one of the key research realms from which major advances are most likely to spring.

APPLICATIONS OF MICROWAVE REMOTE SENSING IN COASTAL OCEANOGRAPHY
Samsudin Ahmad

2004

The use of radar remote sensing in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum has many advantages in comparison with optical remote sensing in the visible and infrared wavelengths. By far the most important factor is the virtual insensitivity of radar to atmospheric conditions. This allows the regular collection of site observations independent of cloud cover or time of overpass. On the other hand, the interpretation of radar imagery over land and ocean is not as straightforward as the more commonly used visible and infrared remote sensors. Usually special image processing techniques must be applied on the radar imagery to make it more readily interpretable. Furthermore, the interpretation of the backscattering process that underlies the radar image formation must be well understood with respect to the physical characteristics of the targets under observation and the specifics of the radar instrument. This paper reports on the results of some studies that have been carried out on coastal oceanography applications using passive and active microwave remote sensing, (i) sea surface temperature from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) TMI satellite data, (ii) oil spills/slicks from Radarsat SAR data, (iii) ocean wavelength and direction, shallow water bathymetry and water fronts from ERS SAR data.

Satellite earth observation in operational oceanography
Alastair Jenkins

Coastal Engineering, 2000

The role and contribution of satellite data in operational oceanography is reviewed, with emphasis on northern European seas. The possibility to observe various ocean parameters and processes by existing satellite sensors, such as optical instruments, infrared radiometers, passive Ž. microwave radiometers, and active microwave systems altimeter, scatterometer, SAR is discussed. The basic parameters are: sea-surface temperature observed by infrared radiometers, ocean colour by spectrometers, sea-surface elevation by altimeters, and surface roughness by active and passive microwave systems, which can be used to derive surface wind and waves. A number of ocean processes can be derived from synoptic mapping of the basic parameters of larger sea areas, such as current patterns, fronts, eddies, water mass distribution, and various water quality Ž. parameters chlorophyll, surface slicks, suspended sediments. The suitability of existing satellite data to fulfil the operational requirements for temporal and spatial coverage, data delivery in near-real-time, and long-term access to data is discussed in light of the fact that opticalrinfrared data in northern Europe are severely hampered by frequent cloud cover, while microwave techniques can provide useful data independent of weather and light conditions. Finally, the use of data assimilation in oceanographic models is briefly summarised, indicating that this technique is under development and will soon be adopted in operational oceanography.

The Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM) Coastal Ocean Sensor
C. Sarture

Imaging and Applied Optics Technical Papers, 2012

The design, characteristics, and first test flight results are described of the Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer, an airborne sensor specifically designed to address the challenges of coastal ocean remote sensing. The sensor incorporates several technologies that are demonstrated for the first time in a working system in order to achieve a high performance level in terms of uniformity, signal to noise ratio, low polarization sensitivity, low stray light, and high spatial resolution. The instrument covers the 350-1050 nm spectral range with a 2.83 nm sampling per pixel, 0.88 mrad instantaneous field of view, with 608 cross-track pixels in a pushbroom configuration. Two additional infrared channels (1240 nm and 1610 nm) are measured by a spot radiometer housed in the same head. The spectrometer design is based on an optically fast (F/1.8) Dyson design form coupled to a wide angle two-mirror telescope in a configuration that minimizes polarization sensitivity without the use of a depolarizer. A grating with minimum polarization sensitivity and broadband efficiency was fabricated as well as a slit assembly with black (etched) silicon surface to minimize backscatter. First flight results over calibration sites as well as Monterey Bay in California have demonstrated good agreement between in-situ and remotely sensed data, confirming the potential value of the sensor to the coastal ocean science community.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing

As discussed in the previous part of this review paper, Remote Sensing (RS) creates unprecedented opportunities by providing a variety of systems with different characteristics to study and monitor oceans. Part 1 of this review paper was dedicated to reviewing passive RS systems and their main applications in the ocean. Here, in part 2, seven active RS systems, including scatterometers, altimeters, gravimeters, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR), High-Frequency (HF) radars are comprehensively reviewed. For consistency, this part is structured similarly to part 1. The aforementioned systems, along with their characteristics and primary applications, are introduced in separate sections. This review paper provides useful information to all students and researchers who are interested in the oceanographic applications of active RS systems.

Lack of frequent and global observations from space is currently a limiting factor in many Earth Observation (EO) missions. Two potential techniques that have been proposed nowadays are: (1) the use of satellite constellations, and (2) the use of Global Navigation Satellite Signals (GNSS) as signals of opportunity (no transmitter required). Reflectometry using GNSS opportunity signals (GNSS-R) was originally proposed in 1993 by Martin-Neira (ESA-ESTEC) for altimetry applications, but later its use for wind speed determination has been proposed, and more recently to perform the sea state correction required in sea surface salinity retrievals by means of L-band microwave radiometry (T B). At present, two EO space-borne missions are currently planned to be launched in the near future: (1) ESA's SMOS mission, using a Y-shaped synthetic aperture radiometer, launch date November 2nd, 2009, and (2) NASA-CONAE AQUARIUS/SAC-D mission, using a three beam push-broom radiometer. In the SMOS mission, the multi-angle observation capabilities allow to simultaneously retrieve not only the surface salinity, but also the surface temperature and an " effective " wind speed that minimizes the differences between observations and models. In AQUARIUS, an L-band scatterometer measuring the radar backscatter (σ 0) will be used to perform the necessary sea state corrections. However, none of these approaches are fully satisfactory, since the effective wind speed captures some sea surface roughness effects, at the expense of introducing another variable to be retrieved, and OPEN ACCESS Remote Sensing 2009, 1 10172 on the other hand the plots (T B-σ 0) present a large scattering. In 2003, the Passive Advance Unit for ocean monitoring (PAU) project was proposed to the European Science Foundation in the frame of the EUropean Young Investigator Awards (EURYI) to test the feasibility of GNSS-R over the sea surface to make sea state measurements and perform the correction of the L-band brightness temperature. This paper: (1) provides an overview of the Physics of the L-band radiometric and GNSS reflectometric observations over the ocean, (2) describes the instrumentation that has been (is being) developed in the frame of the EURYI-funded PAU project, (3) the ground-based measurements carried out so far, and their interpretation in view of placing a GNSS-reflectometer as secondary payload in future SMOS follow-on missions.

Ocean remote sensing: Challenges for the future
René Garello

OCEANS 2008, 2008

Challenges facing ocean remote sensing are as unlimited as the variety of sea surface dynamics and meteorological conditions across the globe and their range of spatial and time scales. Ultimate goals are to be able to make accurate estimates of selected key sets of geophysical variables, with the intention of either making predictions across time and spatial boundaries, or advancing fundamental knowledge through development of empirical relationships and/or theoretical models. Improvements are constantly being sought in both our understanding of the geophysical processes themselves, the sensor physics and the electromagnetic and microwave properties of the surface and its associated air-sea interface, as well as the sampling capabilities to ensure proper monitoring using the vast number of specialized technologies that can be selected to concentrate on one or a few of the physical processes for accurate measurements. The increasing quality, quantity and duration of these ocean observations are then critically important for practical applications as well as to assess local or global climate changes, both from natural and man-made influences.

Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of the Ocean: an Overview
Kyle Hilburn

2010

Passive microwave observations from satellites provide measurements of sea surface temperature (SST), wind speed, water vapor, cloud liquid water, rain rate, and sea ice that have lead to significant advances in meteorological and oceanographic research as well as improvements in monitoring and forecasting both weather and climate. Future instruments are planned to measure sea surface salinity. The calibration of passive microwave radiometers has continued to improve, along with the retrieval algorithms. The production of accurate geophysical retrievals depends on the close development of both calibrated brightness temperatures and retrieval algorithm design in concert. Data must be carefully screened for near-land emissions, radio frequency interference, rain scattering (for SST, wind, and vapor retrievals), and high wind events (SST retrievals only).
