This book provides contributions from leading experts on the integration
of novel sensing technologies to yield unprecedented observations of
coupled biological, chemical, and physical processes in the ocean from
the macro to micro scale. Authoritative entries from experts around the
globe provide first-hand information for oceanographers and researchers
looking for solutions to measurement problems.
Ocean observational techniques have seen rapid advances in the last few
years and this book addresses the need for a single overview of present
and future trends in near real time and real time. First the past,
present and future scenarios of ocean observational tools and techniques
are elucidated. Then this book divides into three modes of ocean
observations: surface, upper ocean and deep ocean. This is followed by
data quality and modelling.
Collecting a summary of methods and applications, this book provides
first-hand information for oceanographers and researchers looking for
solutions to measurement problems. This book is also suitable for final
year undergraduate students or beginning graduate students in ocean
engineering, oceanography and various other engineering students (such
as Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Bioengineering) who are interested
in specializing their skills towards modern measurements of the ocean.
