Remote sensing of water basins using optical range - time images of water surface

The paper is devoted to the development of remote optical methods for monitoring of sea surface. The technique for creating of large scale optical range - time - intensity optical images (RTI images) of sea surface under grazing angles of observation was developed and the optical system for monitoring of coastal zone and inland water up to some tens kilometers was created; Various manifestations of near surface wind on the sea surface were detected and its dynamic was observed; The method for investigation of large scale structure of near water wind from RTI images of sea surface was proposed.
