Coastal Current Intrusions from Satellite Altimetry

Spatiotemporal structure of the East India Coastal Current from satellite altimetry

Topex/Poseidon Satellite Altimetry

A recently developed multiresolution estimation framework offers the possibility of highly efficient statistical analysis, interpolation, and smoothing of extremely large data sets in a multiscale fashion. This framework enjoys a number of advantages not shared by other statistically-based methods. In particular, the algorithms resulting from this framework have complexity that scales only line...

Volterra Algorithm for Modelling Sea Surface Current Circulation from Satellite Altimetry Data

This work introduces a new approach for modelling sea surface current from AVISO/Altimeter satellite data. This is based on utilizing of the Volterra series expansion in order to transform the time series of Merged Sea Level Anomaly satellite altimetry data into a real ocean surface current. The basic equation of hydrodynamic has been solved by first order Volterra model. Then, the Volterra ker...

Total Sea Surface Current Circulation Pattern in the South China Sea Derived from Satellite Altimetry

Sea surface currents and circulation patterns can be estimated globally and in a continuous manner using satellite radar altimeters. This study is concerned with the surface current circulation pattern in the South China Sea. The main data utilized are the tidal amplitudes from co-tidal charts, the sea level anomaly and the wind speed from the Jason-1 satellite altimetry data. Algorithms used t...
