Abstract
Remote sensing of coastal oceanography refers to analysis of various coastal processes using space-borne and air-borne sensors. Remote sensing provides many advantages over the conventional techniques such as synoptic coverage, repeated observations, and area averaging. However, satellite oceanography is constrained by its limited accuracy and largely depends upon manifestation of various underwater processes on the ocean surface due to its high altitude of observations. Here, we shall briefly discuss the utilization and need of remote sensing methods for the coastal applications and their present status.
