Introduction

摘要

The chairs of Remote Sensing of the Ocean & Sea Ice and Large Water Regions thank the authors of the papers reviewed and accepted for publication in this book. This book as well as the conference held in Warsaw, Poland introduced new authors, including students to new research and applications of many aspects of ocean optics and remote sensing of water. We appreciate the extra effort to submit their papers for consideration to be included in the published proceedings. The published articles in this book represent contributions that will be useful to help improve our knowledge and scientific understanding of remote sensing, physical oceanography, ocean engineering, ocean and coastal optics and ocean sciences in general. In many cases the accepted papers represent significant efforts of our colleagues to document their work and to share their understanding and experience through formal questions and informal discussions at the meeting.
