SATELLITE IMAGERY OF OCEANOGRAPHIC FEATURES

Identify oceanographic imagery. features seen in satellite

Using satellite imagery to detect oceanographic frontal boundaries, eddies, etc., has made our job as Aerographers Mates in the world of ASW easier than in the past. Many features were missed in the past because of the lack of reports or poor analyis, and many sonar-related problems could not be adequately explained based on past charts. Observing the oceans through the eyes of satellites provides for far greater coverage of oceanic features and greater accuracy in the location and movement of these features.

Learning Objective: Differentiate between permanent and transient oceanic fronts, and recognize the differences that occur across frontal boundaries.
