“…As mentioned in the introduction section, after successful testing of the spaceborne SAR systems during the Skylab mission in 1973-1974, SeaSat-1 was the first SAR satellite launched on 27 June 1978 and continued its mission until October 1978 [41], [42]. The SAR sensor of SeaSat-1 was operating at the L-band frequency and the HH polarization with a fixed 100 km swath width and 20⁰ to 26⁰ incident angles [42].…”

Oceans cover approximately 71% of the Earth's surface and provide numerous services to the environment and humans. Precise, real-time, and large-scale monitoring of the oceanographic parameters is essential for ocean conservation and understanding the interactions between oceans and the atmosphere. In this regard, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems, with unique capabilities (e.g., day-night and almost allweather data acquisition), provide valuable datasets for ocean studies. Many studies have exploited the applications of SAR imagery for oceans and have proposed numerous methods to study oceanographic parameters. In this study, a brief introduction to SAR and the interaction between microwave signals and the ocean surface are initially provided. Then, the important spaceborne and airborne SAR systems for oceanographic applications are summarized. Subsequently, 12 different applications of SAR systems in the ocean are comprehensively discussed, and the advantages and disadvantages of SAR systems for ocean studies are extensively explored. Finally, the research trend on SAR applications in the ocean is provided by analyzing all the relevant papers published between 1973 and the end of December 2022, and the existing challenges are discussed for future studies.

“…SWOT data will be archived by NASA and made accessible via the new Earthdata Cloud. Data from missions such as Sentinel‐6 Michael Freilich are already being hosted in repositories where users require some competency in cloud computing (Hausman et al., 2019) or where access to emerging cloud‐based data archives is completely transparent to users. However, many among the scientific and end‐user community lack such cloud computing literacy, which could inadvertently result in building a stratified, non‐inclusive user community and thus defeat one of the objectives of open science movement towards equity and inclusivity.…”

Of the many ways Earth observations can be measured, collected, and archived, the vantage from space using satellite remote sensing offers the most synoptic, regular option at scale with seamless global spatial coverage and temporal continuity. In the field of Earth science, satellite remote sensing has contributed to numerous disciplines with the launch and continuation of Earth-observing satellites dedicated to routinely monitoring the pulse of our planet. For example, improvement in our ability to model and analyze physical processes can now be clearly attributed to satellite remote sensing applications in hydrologic science (
