Low Earth Orbits (“Polar Orbiting”): The orbital plane of thesatellite remains fairly constant while the earth rotates toward the east.Subsurface tracks migrate to the west, ~ 25º longitude (2750 km).
What SeaWiFS (visible) sees in one day:Swaths leave gaps at low latitudes:Clouds cover >50% of the ocean and obscurevisible and IR radiation.
