Long-Distance Sea Wave Sparse Matching Algorithm for Sea Level Monitoring System

Long-distance navigation in sea turtles

Adult sea turtles of several species migrate across vast expanses of ocean to arrive at specific nesting areas and feeding sites. Two hypotheses have been proposed to account for this remarkable navigation. The first is that chemical cues emanating from target areas guide turtles to their destinations. The second is that turtles can approximate their position relative to target regions using fe...

Remotely Sensed Wind, Wave, and Sea Level for European Sea Climatology

This paper provides an overview of the analysis of remotely sensed data that has been performed within the scope of a project aiming at obtaining a 40-year hindcast of wind, sea level and wave climatology for the European waters. The satellite data, including wind, wave and sea-level data, are collected for the same areas and are calibrated with available and validated measurements. It will be ...

A Gnss-based Tide Gauge for Local Sea Level Monitoring

It is important for human society to continuously monitor the sea level, since more than 50% of the world’s population live within 60 km of the coast [1]. Moreover, global climate change is believed to result in the melting of large masses of ice in Polar Regions. This will bring freshwater into the ocean [2] and thus change the sea level [3]. The traditional way to observe sea level is with ti...

Caspian Sea Level Fluctuations

In this paper the main factors that influence the Caspian Sea level rising and the probable and improbable factors are discussed in detail. A cyclical behavior of the level of the Caspian Sea according to local records was proposed. This cyclic fluctuation of the sea level is the long-term behavior of the sea so that the investigation is not restricted to a specific time interval. The statistic...
