The Determination of Sunglint Locations on the Ocean Surface by Observation from Geostationary Satellites

The method of determining a principal point of sunglint (PPS) on the ocean surface by observation from geostationary orbit is described. To find a PPS first a nonlinear equation is solved numerically, and then from one transformation the coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the PPS are obtained....
