What is remote sensing? Remote sensing is the science (and to some extent, art) of acquiring information about the Earth's surface without actually being in contact with it.

Understanding ocean dynamics is important for fish stock assessment, ship routing, forecasting and monitoring storms so as to reduce the impact of disaster on marine navigation, off-shore exploration, and coastal settlements.
