Abstract

One of the abilities of the S band (SAR sensor) in the “Almaz” Russian Satellite is observation of oceanic phenomena during its mission in 1991-1992.
 The SAR Almaz-1 Satellite showed us different oceanic phenomena such as surface and middle (lower) waves of the oceans, the floor of oceans, rise of water surface, topography of depths of oceans, the effect of ship’s passage over water, pieces of ice flowing on seas, oil spots and various climatic phenomena. This paper is the result of the final examination of the Almaz-1 oceanographic mission and its practical assessments for study of oceans and their display. In this paper, examples of interpreted images have been presented.
