title: Seasat mission overview.
abstract: During some 3 months of orbital operations, Seasat collected a unique set of global synoptic data on ocean winds, waves, temperature, and topography. All indications from a preliminary analysis of these data are that most of the mission's proof-of-concept objective-the demonstration of nearly all-weather microwave surveillance of the world's oceans-will be met.
