Vocabulary Review New satellite remote sensing Landsat satellite sonar Global Positioning System Geographic Information System Remote Sensing Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education

Landsat Satellite The process of gathering data about Earth using instruments mounted on satellites, airplanes, or ships is called remote sensing. Landsat satellites record reflected wavelengths of visible light and infrared radiation from Earth’s surface, and then computers convert the information into digital images. Landsat data are used to study pollution, the movements of Earth’s plates, and the melting of glaciers and ice caps. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Remote Sensing

OSTM/Jason-2 Satellite One satellite that uses radar to measure and map sea surface height is the OSTM/Jason-2 satellite. Radar uses high-frequency signals that are transmitted from the satellite to the surface of the ocean. A receiving device then picks up the returning echo as it is reflected off the water. Remote Sensing Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education

OSTM/Jason-2 Satellite Using OSTM/Jason-2 data, scientists are able to estimate global sea levels with an accuracy of just a few millimeters. Scientists can use this data combined with other existing data to create maps of ocean-floor features. Remote Sensing Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education

SeaBeam Sonar is the use of sound waves to detect and measure objects underwater. SeaBeam technology uses sonar to map the ocean floor from a ship. Remote Sensing Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education

SeaBeam A sound wave is sent from a ship toward the ocean floor. A receiving device picks up the returning echo when it bounces off the seafloor. A computer calculates the distance from the ship to the ocean floor using the speed of sound in water and the time it takes for the sound to be reflected. SeaBeam technology is used by fishing fleets, deep-sea drilling operations, oceanographers, volcanologists, and archaeologists. Remote Sensing Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education

The Global Positioning System The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system that allows users to locate their approximate position on Earth. These satellites can also relay information to a GPS receiver about elevation, direction of movement, and speed. Remote Sensing Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education

The Global Positioning System Uses for GPS technology GPS technology is used extensively in navigation by airplanes and ships. GPS receivers also help people in everyday life to find a destination or determine their current location. Remote Sensing Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education

The Global Positioning System Visualizing GPS Satellites GPS receivers detect signals from the 24 GPS satellites orbiting Earth. Using signals from at least three satellites, the receiver can calculate location within 10 m. Remote Sensing Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education

The Geographic Information System The Geographic Information System (GIS) uses a worldwide database to create layers, or “themes,” of information that can be placed one on top of the other to create a comprehensive map. GIS map layers remain linked to the original information, so if the original information changes, the GIS layers also change. The result is a map that is always up-to-date.
