Ocean Surface Wave Optical Roughness: Innovative Polarization Measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our research team, Christpher Zappa (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), Michael Banner (LamontDoherty Earth Observatory and University of New South Wales) and Howard Schultz (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), conducted a proof-of-concept study to assess the effectiveness of a new passive optical technique based on polarimetry. Conventional optical remote sensing techniques rely on light amplitude and frequency to carry information about the scattering surface. The polarimetric method exploits these properties, as well as the polarization properties of light to sense information about the scattering media. When the polarimetric properties of light are included, the increased information about the scattering media is striking.

Patterns and statistics of in-water polarization under conditions of linear and nonlinear ocean surface waves
[1] We study the polarization properties of the light field under a dynamic ocean surface using realistic linear and nonlinear ocean surface waves. The three-dimensional polarized radiative transfer of the dynamic ocean–atmosphere system is considered using a Monte Carlo vector radiative transfer simulation for arbitrary depth. The program is validated with measurement data taken in Hawaii duri...

[1] As part of the Radiance in a Dynamic Ocean (RaDyO) program, we have developed a numerical model for efficiently simulating the polarized light field under highly dynamic ocean surfaces. Combining the advantages of the three‐dimensional Monte Carlo and matrix operator methods, this hybrid model has proven to be computationally effective for simulations involving a dynamic air‐sea interface. ...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of the Surface Roughness in Grinding of BK7 Optical Glass in Brittle Mode
Surface roughness is a significant parameter which determines the efficiency of optical components. Surface damages induced by grinding strongly influence the mechanical strength and optical quality of optical glasses. It is meaningful to rapid evaluate the surface roughness through the measurement of different grinding parameters. In this study, a cup diamond wheel (D64) is used in grinding pr...

متن کاملA nonlinear mapping from dual−polarization SAR image spectra to Ocean wave spectra
It is well known that ocean waves are an important component of upper ocean dynamics. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely used to measure ocean surface wave spectra from space since the Seasat satellite was launched in 1978. Many papers have been published dealing with the imaging mechanism and retrieval methodology. Schuler and Lee proposed a method to improve the measurement of...
