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. 410 0$aElsevier oceanography series ;$v63. 606 $aOceanography$xRemote sensing$vCongresses 606 $aAstronautics in oceanography$vCongresses 615 0$aOceanography$xRemote sensing 615 0$aAstronautics in oceanography 676 $a551.46 676 $a551.46 21 676 $a551.46 701 $aHalpern$b David$f1942-$01823924 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911004741903321 996 $aSatellites, oceanography and society$94390869 997 $aUNINA
