A Marine Radar Based Ocean Surface Feature Monitoring System
Today, marine radar-image sequences are used on an operational basis to measure ocean surface wave parameters [1] [2]. In addition, they have shown to be useful in measuring the evolution of individual waves in time and space [3] [4], current and bathymetry fields [5] [6] [7] as well as surface wind fields [8]. The typical marine radar systems used for these applications operate in the X-band a...
متن کاملA new estimation technique for near-shore bathymetric measurements
A new technique for depth estimation in airborne laser bathymetry is proposed. The technique involves the transmission of a nonlinear frequency-modulated signal, the detection of the signal reflected by the ocean, and its processing using an appropriate matched filter. On the basis of this technique, a receiver can be constructed that offers improved resolution between the signals reflected by ...
متن کاملThe inverse water wave problem of bathymetry detection
The inverse water wave problem of bathymetry detection is the problem of deducing the bottom topography of the seabed from measurements of the water wave surface. In this paper, we present a fully nonlinear method to address this problem. The method starts from the Euler water wave equations for inviscid irrotational fluid flow, without any approximation. Given the water wave height and its fir...
متن کاملDetermination Of Nearshore Wave Conditions And Bathymetry From X-Band Radar Systems
Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL) deployed an X-band (9.8GHz, 3cm wavelength) marine radar during the European COAST3D field experiments in Teignmouth, UK. The study site is a complex three-dimensional tidal inlet. A sequence of 64 radar images was collected at time interval of 2.25s every hour. Although realistic-looking wave patterns are observed in the radar images, it is still unclear...

The surface of the ocean bulges outward and inward reflecting the topography of the ocean floor. A dense mapping of ocean surface topography from declassified Geosat altimeter data (US Navy), ERS-1 altimeter data (European Space Agency), and repeat-track coverage from the Topex/Poseidon altimeter (NASA and CNES) has provided the first view of the ocean floor structures in many remote areas of t...
