Identify waves height, currents' energy and thermal data
Summary:
- Sentinel-3 provides operational data on sea surface temperature, which could be used for risk assessment for fisheries (e.g. https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/user-guides/sentinel-3-slstr/applications/maritime-monitoring/sea-surface-temperature).
Limitations:
- Cloudy periods may hamper operational observations
Possible Fall-back solutions:
- Data from land-based marine survey and research
- Autonomous drone survey (long-, mid-range drones)
