Which of the following is NOT a type of satellite sensor commonly used in coastal and marine remote sensing?

  1. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

  2. Multispectral Scanner (MSS)

  3. Thermal Infrared (TIR)

  4. Hyperspectral Imager (HSI)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hyperspectral Imagers are not commonly used in coastal and marine remote sensing due to their high cost and complexity.

What is the primary advantage of using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for coastal and marine remote sensing?

  1. High spatial resolution

  2. High temporal resolution

  3. Ability to penetrate clouds and darkness

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

SAR is able to penetrate clouds and darkness, making it ideal for coastal and marine remote sensing in all weather conditions.

Which of the following is NOT a common data processing technique used in coastal and marine remote sensing?

  1. Geometric correction

  2. Radiometric calibration

  3. Atmospheric correction

  4. Image classification


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Image classification is not a data processing technique, but rather a post-processing technique used to extract information from remote sensing data.

What is the most common application of remote sensing in coastal and marine environments?

  1. Monitoring coastal erosion

  2. Detecting oil spills

  3. Mapping coral reefs

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Remote sensing is used for a variety of applications in coastal and marine environments, including monitoring coastal erosion, detecting oil spills, and mapping coral reefs.

Which of the following is NOT a challenge associated with coastal and marine remote sensing?

  1. Atmospheric interference

  2. Sun glint

  3. Cloud cover

  4. Data scarcity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Data scarcity is not a challenge associated with coastal and marine remote sensing, as there is a wealth of data available from various satellite sensors.
