SATELLITE IMAGERY OF OCEANOGRAPHIC FEATURES

Satellite imagery is being used more and more in oceanographic analysis. The use of infrared imagery is especially helpful in analyzing sea-surface temperature patterns, which in turn permit us to locate and distinguish features such as oceanic fronts, eddies, and areas of upwelling. I will not discuss every oceanographic feature visible in satellite imagery, but I will cover the major features. For a more in-depth discussion of oceanographic features as observed via satellite, I recommend that you read volume 2 of the Applications Guide - Environmental Phenomena and Effects Technical Report 77-04).
