GROUND TRUTH REQUIREMENTS FOR REMOTE SENSING OF OCEANOGRAPHIC FEATURES,

Abstract

For almost two years the Spacecraft Oceanography Project (SPOC) at Texas A and M University has been studying the use of remotely sensed data from aircraft to determine oceanographic features in the Mississippi Delta region of the Gulf of Mexico. Past experience has shown that the present ground truth program is inadequate due to the nonavailability of research ships and other sophisticated instrument platforms. All the important physical parameters on the sea surface and in the atmosphere above should be measured.
