As discussed in the previous part of this review article, remote sensing (RS) creates unprecedented opportunities by providing a variety of systems with different characteristics to study and monitor oceans. Part 1 of this review article was dedicated to reviewing passive RS systems and their main applications in the ocean. Here, in part 2, seven active RS systems, including scatterometers, altimeters, gravimeters, synthetic aperture radar, light detection and ranging, sound navigation and ranging, high-frequency radars are comprehensively reviewed. For consistency, this part is structured similarly to part 1. The aforementioned systems, along with their characteristics and primary applications, are introduced in separate sections. This review article provides useful information to all students and researchers who are interested in the oceanographic applications of active RS systems.
