Derivation and Evaluation of Satellite-Based Surface Current

Observations of real-time ocean surface currents allow one to search and rescue at ocean disaster sites and investigate the surface transport and fate of ocean contaminants. Although real-time surface currents have been mapped by high-frequency (HF) radar, shipboard instruments, satellite altimetry,...
