Remote sensing of nearshore wave interference

Remote sensing of the nearshore.

The shallow waters of the nearshore ocean are popular, dynamic, and often hostile. Prediction in this domain is usually limited less by our understanding of the physics or by the power of our models than by the availability of input data, such as bathymetry and wave conditions. It is a challenge for traditional in situ instruments to provide these inputs with the appropriate temporal or spatial...

10: Multi-Sensor Remote Sensing in the Nearshore

The proposed program directly supports the Navy goal of predicting the 4D nearshore environment for amphibious operations that involve surf zone breaching. Our effort specifically involves improving our understanding of the fundamental relationships between nearshore hydrodynamic processes and remote sensing observations of these processes from multiple remote sensors. We utilize this understan...

Nearshore Wave-topography Interactions

The principal focus of this program has been on understanding the nearshore problem from a top down point of view. At time scales longer than storm periods and length scales larger than 100 meters, the behavior of the nearshore appears surprisingly complex, with subtantial interannual variability and variability on all scales. We believe that this results from feedback between the fluid and bat...

Commission F : Wave propagation and Remote Sensing

F1.1 Terrestrial Fixed Radio Systems Active studies of rain attenuation characteristics are continuing for developing broadb quasi-millimeter wave band. It is based on a trend that the use of microwave band gradually from the fixed use to the mobile use. Results of those stu and systems above has been changing dies will be reflected in developing a multipoint-to-multipoint system, a mesh type w...
