Remote sensing (RS) has a wide range of applications in the field of physical, biological, coastal, satellite oceanography. RS in Oceanographic research is the collection of oceanographic, monitoring of coastal and oceanic processes data and analysis various processes using space borne and air borne sensors. RS offers many advantages over conventional procedures such as synoptic coverage, repeated observations, and area averaging. The main applications are ocean weather and climate studies, measuring primary productivity, water quality monitoring, detection of potential fishing zone, marine life assessment, marine pollution monitoring, determination of near shore bathymetry and mapping, sensing of ocean current and wave, human impacts on marine and coastal life etc. This study aims to identify and explain the importance of RS, advancements, rationality of applications, and future trends in oceanic research.
