Dynamical partitioning of directional ocean wave spectra
نویسندگان
چکیده
Directional wave spectra generally exhibit several peaks due to the coexistence of wind sea generated by local wind conditions and swells originating from distant weather systems. This paper proposes a new algorithm for partitioning such spectra and retrieving the various systems which compose a complex sea-state. It is based on a sequential Monte-Carlo algorithm which allows to follow the time evolution of the various systems. The proposed methodology is validated on both synthetic and real spectra and the results are compared with a method commonly used in the literature.

A 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...

Two-dimensional ocean wave spectra are measured from ENVISAT ASAR wave mode cross spectra on a global scale. The measurement is performed using a parametric retrieval scheme, which makes use of prior information taken from numerical wave models. The Partition Rescale and Shift algorithm (PARSA) is based on a partitioning technique, which splits an a prior wave spectrum into its wave system comp...

متن کاملMeasurements of Directional Wave Spectra by the Shuttle Synthetic Aperture Radar
During October 1984, measurements of directional ocean wave spectra in high sea states were made off the coast of Chile, near Tierra del Fuego, by a synthetic aperture radar aboard the space shuttle Challenger. Simultaneously, independent measurements of ocean wave spectra were made by a complement of airborne instruments. The results indicate that a low-altitude orbiting synthetic aperture rad...
