Description:This report, written by the staff of the Wave Propagation Laboratory (WPL), is in response to a request by the National Data Buoy Project (NDBP) to evaluate the possible remote sensing techniques for the interrogration of both the marine atmosphere and the ocean from buoys. Initially, WPL proposed a three—man year, $90K effort; because of FY 72 fiscal limitations in NDBP, a brief $15K effort was eventually undertaken. This abbreviated study, of course, is far from complete, but it is believed that the principal optical, radio, and acoustic remote sensing concepts relevant to ocean buoys are identified and discussed. The main body of the report discusses existing remote sensing concepts and makes a preliminary evaluation of their potential applicability to the needs and objectives of the National Data Buoy Project.
