Video from earth orbiting satellites (for oceanographers)

This paper reviews video capabilities from Earth orbiting satellites and applications to ocean remote sensing. Videos for purpose of this paper are sequences of images on a fixed location with frame rates in the range of 0.1 to 30 Hz. The number of video capable satellites is increasing. Applications include directional wave spectra, ocean surface currents, surf zone dynamics, and others. Some applications are illustrated, and others are suggested for future research.
