Special issue information 

 

Dear colleagues,

Oceans provide numerous benefits to the environment and humans and, therefore, it is important to monitor them using advanced technologies. In this regard, remote sensing, especially satellites, provides great opportunities for monitoring ocean environments. Remote sensing systems can effectively be applied to monitor oceans. For example, satellites acquire multi-temporal near real time datasets over large and remote ocean areas, which makes them suitable for analyzing the changes in oceanographic variables. Moreover, several types of microwave remote sensing systems, such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and scatterometers, can acquire datasets both daytime and nighttime and almost in any weather conditions, which can be very helpful in the continuous monitoring of oceans.

Currently, various terrestrial, shipborne, airborne, and spaceborne remote sensing systems are being utilized for studying different oceanographic parameters, such as ocean surface wind, ocean surface current, ocean wave height, sea level, ocean tide, iceberg, sea ice, sea surface temperature, ocean water quality. Moreover, various physical-based, statistical, and machine learning models have been developed for estimating these oceanographic variables. This special issue aims to collect novel methods for studying oceans using various types of remote sensing datasets, including those collected by optical satellites, SAR, scatterometers, radiometers, altimeters, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), High Frequency (HF) radars, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUVs).
