Spectral reflectance of whitecaps: Their contribution to water-leaving radiance
A radiometric system, deployed from a ship, is used to measure directly the influence of the presence of breaking waves (whitecaps) on the upwelling radiance above the sea surface. Estimates of their remote sensing augmented spectral reflectance, i.e., the temporally averaged or spatially averaged increase in the ocean’s reflectance over and above the reflectance in the absence of breaking wave...
متن کاملEffective reflectance of oceanic whitecaps.
The effective reflectance of the foam on the ocean surface together with the fraction of the surface covered with foam describes the optical influence of whitecaps in the solar spectral range. This effective reflectance is found to be -22% in the visible spectral range and is presented as a function of wavelength for the solar spectral range. With the fraction of the surface covered with foam, ...
متن کاملModels for Internal Waves in Deep Water
We study properties of solitary wave solutions of three evolution equations arising in the modeling of internal waves Our experiments indicate that broad classes of initial data resolve into solitary waves but also suggest that solitary waves do not interact exactly thus suggesting two of these equa tions are not integrable In the course of our numerical simulations interesting meta stable quas...
متن کاملFish in deep-water coral habitats.
DAVID MALAKOFF’S ARTICLE “U.S. ASKED TO act immediately to protect deep-sea corals” (News of the Week, 2 April, p. 31), reporting on a petition to the U.S. government by the advocacy group Oceana, suggests that fish species found among deep-water corals are under threat unless this habitat is protected. Most would agree that the destruction of habitats that are several thousands of years old is...
متن کاملModulated periodic stokes waves in deep water
Modulated deep-water 1D Stokes waves are considered experimentally and theoretically. Wave trains are modulated in a controlled fashion and their evolution is recorded. Data from repeated laboratory experiments are reproducible near the wave maker, but diverge away from the wave maker. Numerical integration of a perturbed nonlinear Schrodinger equation and an associated linear spectral problem ...
