Abstract
The determination of the surface fluxes of momentum, heat, and mass on temporal and spatial scales is of direct importance to two major fields of geophysics: air-sea interaction and remote sensing. Although the surface fluxes, in a sense, represent the common link between these two growing fields, the disciplines of air/sea interaction and remote sensing have, in the most part, evolved independently. Only recently, with the promise of continuous operational satellite retrievals of directly measured surface data, have the two disciplines begun to merge. Research programs are now being conducted with the intent of describing geophysical variables with remote sensing data in addition to understanding the physics of ocean surface scattering, the processes involved in describing the air-sea exchange rates, and the statistical character of the surface wave state. The outcome of such joint research efforts is intended to provide higher quality monitoring and forecasting of the marine environment through remote sensing techniques.
