Welcome to the Ocean Physical Processes Team (OPPT)
The OPPT applies remotely-sensed data received from operational and research
satellites and other platforms ranging from microwave to ultra-violet frequencies
to infer thermal distributions; bio-optical properties; surface winds and
associated wave structure; ice sheet topography; ocean currents, fronts and eddies.
This branch also conducts field experiments to assemble comparative data to
validate the satellite measurements. It cooperates with other parts of
NOAA to develop applications of satellite-derived ocean properties
to physical and biological models, models of ocean circulation, and fisheries
resources.
