Description:Remote sensing offers a unique opportunity to observe and monitor entire estuaries synoptically and compare them to other estuaries. However, due to the tidal influences and small features which need to be detected, estuaries place severe temporal and spatial resolution requirements on sensing systems as compared to open ocean or land applications. Also, most estuarine researchers and managers are not familiar with remote sensing techniques and data availability. Therefore, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Estuarine Programs Office, and the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS), with the help of other agencies and the University of Delaware, organized a seminar and workshop with the following objectives: (1) To evaluate remote sensing techniques as a cost effective means for obtaining useful qualitative and quantitative data for an improved understanding of the physical, biological and geochemical properties of estuaries. (2) To review data requirements for hydrodynamic water quality and ecological models of estuaries (with emphasis on data obtainable by remote sensors). (3) To review the wide range of remote sensors and techniques available to users for monitoring the physical, biological and geochemical properties of estuaries and surrounding wetlands and drainage basins. (4) To produce conclusions and recommendation's for future use and development of remote sensing in estuarine studies.
