Remote sensing The remote sensing facility at AIMS contains a satellite receiving station that collects oceanographic data from an orbiting satellite as it tracks within our field of view. The Australian Institute of Marine Science 'Remote Sensing Facility' provides techniques for processing satellite, airborne and in situ radiometer and radar observations. These are linked to hydrodynamic models to study the effects and physical processes on the status and distribution of marine organisms on the Great Barrier Reef.
