oceanographic images obtained from environmental satellites by a wide range of sensors allow characterizing natural phenomena through different physical measurements. for instance sea surface temperature (sst) images, altimetry data and ocean color data can be used for characterizing currents and vortex structures in the ocean. the purpose of this thesis is to derive a relatively complete frame...

The oceans represent almost 70% of the surface our planet, and they are in constant movement through waves, tides, currents. These movements formed differently: waves develop because action wind; tides moon sun, currents differences water temperature rotation planet. Ocean bring food oxygen to plants animals that live on coasts. Waves also help shape coastline by erosion accumulation sand. is i...
