Measurements of Ocean Waves and Surface Features using Polarimetric SAR
Studies have shown that polarimetric SAR may be used to measure terrain slopes and surface roughness. The first goal is to extend these measurement concepts here to study slope distribution changes generated by ocean wave-current interactions such as the surface manifestations of internal waves [1]. These changes are then, in turn, used to estimate the perturbations in the ambient slope distrib...
متن کاملThe Sar Measurement of Ocean Waves: Wave Session Whitepaper
Remote sensing techniques enable the measurement of ocean wave fields with both high resolution and large coverage. As the acquisition of active radar data is independent of daylight and cloud conditions, these data are therefore believed to be most suited for operational use at weather centers and governmental agencies, as well as for many ongoing scientific investigations. In the present over...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging Using SAR
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...
متن کاملFloat Observations of the Southern Ocean. Part I: Estimating Mean Fields, Bottom Velocities, and Topographic Steering
Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer (ALACE) floats are used to examine mean flow and eddy fluxes at 900-m depth in the Southern Ocean. Mean temperature and dynamic topography from float data are consistent with earlier estimates from hydrographic surveys, although floats imply warmer temperatures and narrower frontal structures than do atlas data. Differences between hydrographic and ALA...
متن کاملPersistent and energetic bottom-trapped topographic Rossby waves observed in the southern South China Sea
Energetic fluctuations with periods of 9-14 days below a depth of 1400 m were observed in the southern South China Sea (SCS) from 5 years of direct measurements. We interpreted such fluctuations as topographic Rossby waves (TRWs) because they obey the dispersion relation. The TRWs persisted from May 24, 2009 to August 23, 2013, and their bottom current speed with a maximum of ~10 cm/s was one o...
