The U.S. SEASAT program
Abstract
The SEASAT program is a space-based operational oceanographic measurement system, which will be capable of providing continuous, all-weather, world-wide, timely data on global ocean dynamics and other physical properties of practical importance to a wide community of governmental and private sector users. This paper describes user requirements, case studies of projected applications, the sensor systems employed, and testing programs.
