Abstract
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite sensors can provide relevant information about a variety of features related to dynamical processes. Due to the high resolution of available SAR sensors, it is possible to detect details of circulation and small-scale processes which are not observable by other satellite sensors frequently used for ocean research, including the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). Additionally LANDSAT-Thematic Mapper (TM)/ Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) thermal and optical channels can be used to observe sea surface temperatures and surface layer ocean color (upwelled radiance), as well as sun glint patterns of surface roughness (reflected radiance) at a high spatial resolution, comparable to that of SAR.
