With the deepening of the understanding of the earth, the role of the ocean has become more and more recognized. The ocean plays a major role in the changes of the global environment. The importance of the marine environment, such as the role of the global carbon cycle and global climate change, forces people to observe and study it by various means. The strategic position of the ocean in the global economic construction is extremely important. The use of space technology to detect the ocean is particularly important and urgent in safeguarding marine rights, protecting the marine environment, developing marine resources, mitigating marine disasters and effectively implementing marine management. The global ocean surface infrared image is simulated and analyzed to provide ideas for its long-term development.
