Development of a Radar/SAR Assimilation System for Internal Wave Prediction
نویسنده
چکیده
The long term-goal of this project is to provide a component of such a predictive system that will take remote sensing imagery of a region and estimate the current internal wave characteristics within that region. It is then anticipated that these internal wave characteristics will be handed-off to an internal wave propagation model that will generate the future characteristics of the internal waves.

Assimilation of Synthetic-Aperture Radar Data into Navy Wave Prediction Models
There are three basic objectives to this program: (1) to develop a forward prediction capability for the expected value of the SAR-image spectrum, with the SWAN wave-spectrum prediction as input; (2) to develop methods to bring the SWAN-based SAR-spectrum prediction into agreement with satellite-based SAR observations by adjusting the SWAN model inputs; and (3) to validate the improvement in th...
متن کاملGlobal 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...

High-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wind observations provide fine structural information for tropical cycles and could be assimilated into numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. However, in the conventional method assimilating the u and v components for SAR wind observations (SAR_uv), the wind direction is not a state vector and its observational error is not considered during t...
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 کاملOn the Retrieval of Significant Wave Heights from Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (ERS-SAR) using the Max-Planck Institut (MPI) Algorithm
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) onboard satellites is the only source of directional wave spectra with continuous and global coverage. Millions of SAR Wave Mode (SWM) imagettes have been acquired since the launch in the early 1990’s of the first European Remote Sensing Satellite ERS-1 and its successors ERS-2 and ENVISAT, which has opened up many possibilities specially for wave data assimilatio...
