Abstract
- The technology of visible and infrared imaging sensors designed for the remote monitoring of the oceans is assessed. Emphasis is placed on multichannel scanning radiometers that are either operational or under development. Present design practices and parameter constraints are discussed. Airborne sensor systems examined include the Ocean Color Scanner (OCS) and the Ocean Temperature Scanner (OTS). The Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) and Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), are reviewed with emphasis on design specifications, expected completion, and anticipated performance. Finally, recent technology advances and their probable impact on sensor design are examined.
