Abstract

NOAA AVHRR data has been used in the field of marine science in China since late 1970s. In this paper we present the techniques developed for extracting information about the near surface waters and the marine applications. Attention is focused on the regional optimized algorithms for measurements of sea surface temperature (SST), suspended sediment and residual flow velocities. Marine applications of AVHRR data in China are given to the study of oceanic phenomena and processes, marine environmental monitoring and fisheries. Future technique development and - marine applications are also discussed.
