Topographic mapping using a multibeam radar altimeter

Benthic habitat mapping using multibeam sonar

Multibeam sonar (MBS) systems are recognised as one of the most effective tools available to map and characterise the seafloor as they can provide co-located high-resolution bathymetry and acoustic backscatter characteristics from a wide swath across a vessel’s track. While the production of bathymetry maps from MBS is well developed, processing and analysis of MBS backscatter data has not yet ...

On the Future of Radar Altimeter Calibration Using Gnss Buoys

The environmental satellite ENVISAT was successfully launched by the European Space Agency ESA in March 2002. An elaborate field campaign was conducted in the Mediterranean Sea near the coast of Menorca Island in order to recover the altimeter’s bias using high sea GPS buoys. After a brief presentation of this campaign including major results for the sea surface heights, a number of questions r...
