Abstract: | If the community of users of satellite observations of the marine environment is to be widened to include those involved in daily commercial operations then special-purpose systems should be designed to meet their everyday requirements. For the last two decades the major customer for the observations from a succession of single satellite missions has been the community of marine scientists. A low-cost constellation of microsats that will allow information on sea state to be delivered to ships in real time is described. |
