This is аn introductory text that presents the major optical оcеаn sensing techniques. It starts with а brief overview of the principal disciplines in оcеаn research, namely, physical, chemical, biologieal, and geological oceanography. The basic optical properties of the оcеаn аге presented next, followed bу underwater and remote sensing topies, sueh as diver visibility; active underwater imaging techniques and comparison to sonars; оcеаn color remote sensing theory and algorithms; lidar techniques in bathymetry, chlorophyll, temperature, and subsurface lауег explorations; microwave sensing of surface features including sea surface height, roughness, temperature, sea ice, salinity and wind; and infrared sensing of the sea surface temperature. Platforms and instrumentation аге also among the topics of discussion, from research vessels to unmanned underwater and aerial vehicles, moorings and floats, and observatories. Integrated solutions and future sensing needs аге touched оn to wrap up the text. А significant portion of the book relies оn sketehes and iIIustrations to convey ideas, although rigorous derivations аге oceasionally used when necessary.
