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...
متن کاملTsunami Damage Detection Using Moderate-resolution Satellite Imagery
A moment-magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck the area off the western coast of northern Sumatra on 26 December 2004, which triggered massive tsunamis inundating the coastal areas in the countries along the Indian Ocean Rim. Various moderateto high-resolution satellite images were obtained before and after the tsunami attack and used for emergency management. High-resolution satellite (e.g. IKONOS) ...
متن کاملDetection of the Flooded Area by Tsunami Using Satellite Thermal Infrared Images
Heavy casualties and severe property losses occurred by the tsunami in the Off Pacific Coast of Tohoku, Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. Satellite visible images are easy to grasp damages caused by disasters, but they cannot be obtained in nighttime. Hence a blank time of information may occur if a disaster happens in nighttime. On the other hand, a satellite thermal infrared image can be ta...
متن کاملSatellite Altimetry for Hydrological Purpose Master Thesis GEOENGINE
As a new spatial measuring technic developed in 1970s,altimetry was designed to determine the sea surface height based on spatial technology, electronic technology and microwave technology. It also plays an important role in geodesy and oceanography; meanwhile, it can provide all-weather and repetitious measurements in global region for the studying of variation of SSH, earth gravity field, oce...
متن کاملThe Dependence of Short-range Ocean Forecasts on Satellite Altimetry
Short-range ocean forecast and reanalysis systems routinely combine observations from satellite altimetry, satellite sea surface temperature (SST), and in situ temperature and salinity, to initialise global and regional ocean models. The most critical observation type for eddy-resolving applications is arguably satellite altimetry. To quantify the impact of satellite altimetry observations on a...
