Satellite remote sensing of the oceanA concise description of the principles and applications of several selected instruments that have been utilized most frequently in remote sensing of the ocean from satellites is presented. Emphasis is placed on the current progress in oceanographic applications and the outlook of the instruments in future oceanographic satellite missions is discussed. The instruments under discussion are placed into three groups: active microwave sensors, passive ocean color and infrared sensors, and passive microwave sensors.
