High-resolution frequency determination of tidal components in coastal currents
The ability to resolve closely spaced frequencies of two high-resolution AR spectral methods, the Burg's and Marple's approaches, is examined by using time series of coastal currents measured in waters of Canary Islands. We emphasise their usefulness to resolve tidal harmonic components with close frequencies and low frequency components.
متن کاملHigh-frequency radar observations of ocean surface currents.
This article reviews the discovery, development, and use of high-frequency (HF) radio wave backscatter in oceanography. HF radars, as the instruments are commonly called, remotely measure ocean surface currents by exploiting a Bragg resonant backscatter phenomenon. Electromagnetic waves in the HF band (3-30 MHz) have wavelengths that are commensurate with wind-driven gravity waves on the ocean ...
متن کاملVery High-Frequency Radar Mapping of Surface Currents
An ocean surface current radar (OSCR) in the very high frequency (VHF) mode was deployed in South Florida Ocean Measurement Center (SFOMC) during the summer of 1999. During this period, a 29-d continuous time series of vector surface currents was acquired starting on 9 July 1999 and ending 7 August 1999. Over a 20-min sample interval, the VHF radar mapped coastal ocean currents over a 7.5 km 8 ...
متن کاملusing new approach ‘extr method’ to retrack satellite radar altimetry; case study: persian gulf
monitoring of water levels within the seas and oceans has been enhanced by application of satellite radar altimetry missions, compared to the traditional in-situ tide gauge measurements, due to their vast coverage and better spatial resolution. satellite radar altimetry, which is originally designed to measure global ocean surface height, has been applied to inland surface water hydrologic stud...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Brown Model Waveform in Radar Altimetry
In satellite altimetry (radar altimetry), the altimeter emits a pulse, with known power, to the earth surface and receives it back continuously to determine of the sea surface height. The time series of the mean returned power is recorded individually at satellite as the so-called waveform. Analytical model for the waveform is first introduced by Brown, which consists of six parameters: signif...
