Remotely sensed coastal/deep-basin water exchange processes in the Black Sea surface layerThe book shows how the new observations from satellites required advances in theory and influenced societal decision-making. Chapters have a review with an extensive reference list, making the book an excellent source of information for biological and physical oceanographers and atmospheric scientists. A large range of state-of-the art applications of satellite data (altimeter, color, infrared radiometer, scatterometer, synthetic aperture radar) visible in regional-to-global scale ocean studies integrating satellite and in-situ measurements with circulation models are covered in the book.Elsevier oceanography series ;63.OceanographyRemote sensingCongressesAstronautics in oceanographyCongressesOceanographyRemote sensingAstronautics in oceanography551.46551.46 21551.46Halpern David1942-1823924MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911004741903321Satellites, oceanography and society4390869UNINA
