The increasing abundance of satellite data has undoubtedly changed the way the science of oceanography has developed, revealing previously undetected ocean phenomena, casting new light on old problems, and opening the way for new fields of oceanographic study. Ian Robinson's latest book ""Discovering the Ocean from Space"" takes a broadly encompassing look at the ways satellite data have been applied to the study of the ocean. It's particular theme is the special c
