Satellite Oceanography

Satellite oceanography is the study of the Earth's oceans using data collected from satellites in space. These satellites monitor various ocean properties, such as temperature, color, waves, and currents, by using special instruments. This information helps scientists understand ocean dynamics, climate change, and marine ecosystems. By observing large areas of the ocean from above, satellite oceanography provides valuable insights that are difficult to obtain from ships alone, enabling better management of marine resources and improved predictions of weather and environmental changes.
