Abstract

The use of remote sensing in conjunction with conventionally collected data to study the physical oceanography and meteorology of the South Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) area (extending from Cape Canaveral to Cape Hatteras, from the spring tide mark to the 1500 m isobath, including Blake Plateau) is discussed. This study is part of BIM's environmental studies program for offshore oil and gas exploration and development. Innovative uses of remote sensing used in this study included: 1. the preparation of a climatology of the study area based upon remote sensing; 2. an analysis of the interaction of the Gulf Stream with the Continental Shelf and Blake Plateau; 3. the determination of the six hourly offshore wind structure and storm tracks for three significant meteorological forcing events that occurred in the study area.
