... To support naval operations effectively, remote and in situ observing systems must provide quantitative data on a broad range of scales about physical and dynamical processes in both the atmosphere and ocean, as well as detailed information about the structural dynamics and interracial surface between the two fluids. Remote sensing from above the ocean surfaceprimariTy with electromagnetic and electrooptical systems designed to observe the atmospheric and oceanic mixed layers and the ocean's surface requires knowledge of signal propagation, scattering, and emission.
