Summary

Abstract: Oceanography from the Space Shuttle is a pictorial survey of oceanic phenomenon
visible to the naked eye from space acquired by NASA astronauts. Some of the
things you will observe sets of internal waves as they propagate through the
Strait of Gibraltar, complex linking of spiral eddies, ship wakes covering
hundreds of miles, pollution at sea, and coastal phenomena. Originally
published in 1989, it is now out of print and only available on this web site.
To navigate, click on the shuttle and then follow the arrows pointing right -
or you can reach any page from the table of contents. Thumbnail images give a
preview of each chapter's photographs. For more information about the site and
viewing these images, see Appendix D: Web Site Notes.
