Remote Sensing Activities for Ocean Management in Korea

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the applications of ocean satellite remote sensing for operational oceanography and ocean management in South Korea, especially on sea surface temperature (SST), coastal cultivation management, automatic ship detection, oil spill response and sea ice monitoring. In addition, Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), as the world’s first sensor to observe the ocean in geostationary orbit, is presented with the pros and cons in the field of ocean remote sensing.ection, oil spill response and sea ice monitoring.
