Global wave model validation using ENVISAT ASAR wave mode data
Spaceborne active radar remote sensing, e.g., radar altimeter (RA) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) have been playing an important role in the validation of numerical wave models, particularly in open ocean. Most forecast centres also use altimeter data in the wave data assimilation process. In this paper we present validation results based on the newly developed CWAVE_ENV algorithm. SAR wave...
متن کاملEnvisat Wind and Wave Products: Monitoring, Validation and Assimilation
ENVISAT fast delivery RA-2 and ASAR wind and wave products are routinely received, monitored and validated at ECMWF. RA-2 wind speed product is of good quality. Although Ku-band significant wave height (SWH) product is slightly high, it is of high quality. The redundant side B of RA-2 produced SWH product of even better quality. The S-band wave height product is generally of good quality. The i...
متن کاملGeoregistration of Remotely Sensed Imagery
DEFINITION Georegistration is the alignment of an unreferenced image with a geodetically (latitude, longitude, and elevation based) calibrated reference image [1]. In general, this process aligns two images (satellite is the most common, but is not limited to satellite images) and correlating the images to a physical location by examining a set of distinguishable points. Figure 1 shows an examp...
متن کاملSelection of Remotely Sensed Data
An increasing number of sensors are available for forest ecologists and managers seeking to map attributes of forest canopy cover, forest structure and composition, and their dynamics. This Chapter seeks to put these advances within the context of the needs of forest managers and scientists. To do so, we review the basic physics behind a variety of imagery types, discuss fundamental limitations...
متن کاملToward 1-mGal accuracy in global marine gravity from CryoSat-2, Envisat, and Jason-1
M than 60% of the Earth’s land and shallow marine areas are covered by > 2 km of sediments and sedimentary rocks, with the thickest accumulations on rifted continental margins (Figure 1). Free-air marine gravity anomalies derived from Geosat and ERS-1 satellite altimetry (Fairhead et al., 2001; Sandwell and Smith, 2009; Andersen et al., 2009) outline most of these major basins with remarkable p...
