| Abstract | This report provides an overview of the Marine Remote Sensing Applications and Business Development Workshop organized by C-CORE to bring together interested Remote Sensing (RS) service providers as well as potential RS data users such that RS service providers could better tailor their data products to user requirements. Participants included representatives of a number of space based (satellite), aircraft, and assorted land based RS service providers. Potential users included representatives from the offshore oil industry, ocean transportation companies, various agencies of the federal government, the Canadian Center for Marine Communications (CCMC), environmental services, and universities. The Institute for Marine Dynamics (IMD's)interest in RS involves primarily investigating cost effective means of acquiring environmental data, including ice data (ice field location, ice properties, location of ice bergs), sea conditions (wave height, period, direction), surface current speed/direction, and wind speed/direction in support of ship trials. |
