The power of microwave remote sensing for studying the oceans of the world was demonstrated conclusively by the SEASAT mission in 1978. Since then, no further satellite-flown instruments have been available to provide further data of this type. However, the proposed launch of ESA's ERS-1 satellite will lead to a new set of active microwave instruments being flown in space in 1990. Even though similar data has been obtained from aircraft-flown instruments SAR, scatterometers, altimeters etc. - a great deal of activity has been taking place to develop the necessary expertise in handling and analysing such data when it comes ...

Reviews for Microwave Remote Sensing for Oceanographic and Marine Weather-Forecast Models
`This is an extremely informative and up-to-date book which should be on the shelf of those who will exploit the new microwave satellite data coming from the sensors during the 1990s.' World Meteorological Oganization Bulletin, 40:1
