What Does OCTS Stand For?
OCTS stands for Ocean Color And Temperature Scanner
OCTS, or Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner, is a satellite-based remote sensing instrument designed to monitor and analyze oceanic characteristics. It measures the color of surface waters to assess phytoplankton concentrations and productivity, while also capturing temperature data to study ocean circulation and climate change impacts. OCTS plays a vital role in marine research, environmental monitoring, and resource management by providing critical data for understanding ocean health and dynamics.
