Current Status and Future Prospects of Satellite Sensors for Ocean Visualization

Abstract

The survey results on the current status and future prospects of satellite sensors for ocean visualization will be reported. First of all, an application example on the environmental studies was introduced as a target using ocean satellites. Next, the history and present of satellite sensor development for ocean visualization and the system were explained. High-resolution and high-frequency satellites (1 day cycle with a spatial resolution of 100 m) are required as satellite sensors in the next-generation.
