The key words here are \"application of technology --. to the study of the oceans.\" The goal is to learn more about our planet's hydrosphere. As such, remote sensing technology is another tool in the oceanographer's sea bag, just like a bathythermograph or a plankton net. But is a whole book necessary if remote sensing is just another tool? While it is true that no one has written a whole book on plankton nets, volumes have been written about what is found in those nets. Today's state-of-the-art measurements from spacecraft or aircraft first must be interpreted in terms of their physics; then the interpretations must be understood in terms of oceanic processes. This is not materially different from the analogy to Ii plankton net; marine biolo- gists still argue about what didn't get caught in the net.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284733517975,"sku":"9789401087407","price":14553.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789401087407.webp?v=1769282068","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-satellite-oceanography-9789401087407","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
