Description:Operational and experimental spacecraft are routinely observing ocean surface phenomena of importance to OTEC plant operations and site selection. This report summarizes the existing instruments and the capability of those instruments for observing geophysical variables that contribute to surface thermal resource fluctuations, the operating environment, and the impact of an OTEC plant on the ocean. The report consists of an introduction, a survey of satellites and satellite instruments of benefit to OTEC, examples of satellite data and potential OTEC uses, a summary (Table 10) of satellite sensors and data characteristics with reference to OTEC studies, a short glossary of acronyms, and an extensive list of references from a literature search.
