Title Space technology and oceanography
 
Creator Pisharoty, P R
 
Subject Oceanography
 
Description Space Technology has developed modern sensing devices which carried on aircraft
and spacecraft platforms can obtain repetitive synoptic data over large oceanic areas.
It has also developed aspects of systems-theory, information-theory, data processing methodology etc., which can be applied to the large volumes of data collected over the
oceans. This integrated technique of surveying oceans for its resources is known as
Remote Sensing. Water colour, sea-state, surface winds, temperature, chlorophyll,
surface-currents, sediment transport and surface salinity are some of the parameters
collected through Remote Sensing. The data so collected have applications to shipping,
meteorology, coastal geography and marine biology. It is suggested that it is time for
drawing up plans for taking observations over specific sites in the Arabian Sea and the
Bay of Bengal from aircraft and ocean-craft platforms simultaneous with the expected
overflights of NASA's Earth Resources Technology Satellites, already orbited and to be
orbited in future.
