Abstract

Remote Sensing has emerged as an important tool in the study of the ocean with the Microwave Altimeter emerging as one of the important sensors providing data for various prediction models. The knowledge of the working principle and the functional difficulties help in understanding the sensor in a better manner and make a pathway for development of new technologies in improving the capturing of data through remote sensing.
