Abstract

In the southeast Asian Waters, often meso-scale oceanic phenomena, like internal waves, oceanic fronts, eddies, upwelling, river plumes, and sea areas covered with mineral oil films or biogenic slicks, are encountered, which are detectable by synthetic aperture radar (SAR). SAR images are used, usually in conjunction with other remote sensing data and with numerical models, to study the dynamics of these phenomena. In particular, SAR data have been very instrumental in studies of the generation, propagation, and dissipation of internal waves in the South China Sea.
