The experimental oceanographic satellite Seasat-A
The experimental Seasat-A satellite, scheduled for launch in 1978, is designed to provide measurements of sea-surface temperature, surface wind speed and direction, sea state and directional wave spectra. The instrument package of the satellite includes a highly precise radar altimeter, a wind-field...
