With the availability of a whole decade of satellite observations of sea states, their integration into the state of the art and the remaining difficulties are discussed here. An example is taken with the Iroise Sea, and perspectives are envisionned. PY 2002 PD APR SO La Houille Blanche SN 0018-6368 PU EDP Sciences IS 2 BP 78 EP 82 DI 10.1051/lhb/2002027 ID 59143 ER EF
