SEASAT ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT. VOLUME 3: OFFSHORE OIL AND NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY CASE STUDY AND GENERALIZATION

Results are presented of preliminary trade-off studies of operational SEASAT systems. The trade-off studies were used as the basis for the estimation of costs and net benefits of the operational SEASAT system. Also presented are the preliminary results of simulation studies that were designed to lead to a measure of the impact of SEASAT data through the use of numerical weather forecast models. (Author)
