Abstract
Abstract Reported in this article are research results pertaining to an assessment of remote sensing and image processing technology for supplying useful information to numerical models which derive estimates of a hydrodynamic surface flow field. The role of remote sensing and image processing in this research is to provide time-sequential tracer distribution information over a water surface which is used as input to the flow estimating numerical model. Technical and scientific considerations concerning remote sensing tracers, platforms and sensors, as well as image processing procedures involving atmospheric corrections, geometric/radiometric processing and spatial aggregation are discussed. Results from the remote sensing/image processing component of this multidisciplinary exploratory research are encouraging, suggesting that remote sensing methods are at this time technologically (if not operationally) appropriate for supplying hydrodynamic tracer data useful for estimating spatially contiguous surfac...
