Abstract One of the biggest advantages of remote sensing is that large areas of
the earth's surface can be surveyed in short periods of time, providing nearsynoptic
"pictures." Repeated surveys of one area, like time-lapse photography,
can be interpreted as a movie to illustrate the dynamics of detectable
features. These attributes of remote sensing from aircraft or spacecraft
are especially important in coastal and upwelling regions of the oceans,
where oceanographic conditions change rapidly. The world's largest fisheries
are also located in these dynamic areas.
