This chapter seeks to provide a quick introduction to satellite remote sensing. It starts with a set of definitions, thereby to explain the differences between Earth observations, remote sensing, and satellite remote sensing. It then goes on to describe how satellite remote sensing works, and what the differences between passive and active sensors are. An introduction to the main sensors currently on board active civilian Earth observation satellites is provided, together with details on their key specifications. The complex nature of satellite data, as well as the tools required to manipulate and analyse them are discussed. The chapter ends with a presentation of the main issues to be aware of when dealing with satellite data, and a look at the coming sensors and datasets that will soon expand opportunities for satellite data to inform environmental management.

Indian Scenario

Forecasting of Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ) is considered as economically and environmentally significant towards ensuring profitable base of economy and planning for sustenance of existing fishing pool. Changes in environmental conditions affect the distribution, abundance and availability of fish. The traditional sampling approaches for PFZ identification using boats and vessels are not only costly and time consuming but practically absurd considering the vastness of seas and oceans. In this chapter importance of alternative but effective methods of airborne and satellite remote sensing has been given. The chapter elucidates the factors for PFZ identification like thermal condition in sea controlling its thermal circulation, chlorophyll-a concentration estimated from ocean color dynamics, etc. Tools/system to prepare PFZ advisories and also the platforms for dissemination of the same, have been illustrated based on Indian scenario.
