Oceanic remote sensing by several NASA sponsored satellite systems is described, and the results of these measurements are discussed. Papers are presented on the Seasat, Nimbus-7, and TIROS-N observations; analysis and interpretation of altimeter sea echo; oceanic surface winds; surface and internal ocean wave observations; and microwave wind and rain observations in severe tropical and midlatitude marine storms. Consideration is given to sea surface temperature determinations, ocean color measurements, observations of the polar regions from satellites using active and passive microwave techniques, precipitation in tropical cyclones, and living marine resources applications. Additional papers provide details of the remote sensors involved in these oceanic studies, details of the Seasat validation program, and a summary of the data availability.
