Remote sensing of ocean surface in the frontal zone

In ocean remote sensing the study of the wind wave field is of interest in its own right, since in a number of cases its spatial inhomogeneity may serve as an indicator of the state of the ocean surface layer-the existence of vortices, fronts, internal waves, surfactant concentration, etc. Wind-driven waves vary under the influence of inhomogeneous flows, which indicates the presence of flows. Therefore, the nature of the spatially inhomogeneous spectrum of waves can be the initial information for determining the surface flow velocities
