The PORSEC Association mission is to promote the open exchange of knowledge about the oceans and related atmospheric sciences and the use of remote sensing technology in oceanic research.
our oceans and
atmosphere and promote sustainable use and development of oceanic and
coastal
resources.A goal of the PORSEC
Association is that its
conferences will further understanding of the Earth's
environmental processes such as climate variability,
the effects of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), oceanic hazards
such as
tsunamis, tropical and extra-tropical cyclones, sea level rise, and
other
climate change effects and the effects of pollution through exchange of
ideas
and knowledge.
The PORSEC Association aims to provide better opportunities for scientists, especially from developing countries, for learning and applying state of the art techniques related to ocean remote sensing, including space and underwater technologies, as well as associated data management and information technology.
