Overview

Here is a review of the current potential of Earth Observations that devotes particular attention to the challenges posed by the European Seas. The assessment of surface parameters by means of passive techniques -- which measure reflected visible and near-infrared sunlight, or surface emissions in the thermal infrared or microwave spectral regions -- is addressed. Active techniques -- which use transmitted impulses of visible or microwave radiation -- are covered as well.
